Management And Planning Of Integrated Cad Cam Interactive Graphics Systems

Presented at the Autoface 4 Conference, Philadelphia, PA, Nov. 30-Dec. 2, 1982.

This book identifies as many "alligators" as possible in the swamps surrounding implementation of an integrated CAD/CAM system. It is helpful for marketing managers, inventory control supervisors and innovators who believe in the need to modernize engineering and manufacturing systems.

In this book, the authors examine interactive computer graphics and its use in design industrial robots, computer control of manufacturing processes, computer-integrated production control, automated inspections, and flexible manufacturing systems. They also discuss the implementation of turnkey CAD/CAM systems.

In this book, the authors examine interactive computer graphics and its use in design industrial robots, computer control of manufacturing processes, computer-integrated production control, automated inspections, and flexible manufacturing systems. They also discuss the implementation of turnkey CAD/CAM systems.

Primarily intended as a textbook for the undergraduate students of aeronautical, automobile, civil, industrial, mechanical, mechatronics and production, it provides a comprehensive coverage of all the technical aspects related to CAD/CAM. Organized in 26 chapters, the textbook covers interactive computer graphics, CAD, finite element analysis, numerical control, computer numerical control, manual part programming, computer-aided part programming, direct numerical control, adaptive control systems, group technology, computer-aided process planning, computer-aided planning of resources for manufacturing, computer-aided quality control, industrial robots, flexible manufacturing systems, cellular manufacturing, lean manufacturing and computer integrated manufacturing. Each chapter begins with objectives and ends with descriptive and multiple-choice questions. Besides students, this book would be of immense value to practicing engineers and professionals who are interested in the CAD/CAM technology and its applications to design and manufacturing. KEY FEATURES : Many innovative illustrations Case studies Question bank at the end of each chapter Good number of worked out examples Extensive and carefully selected references
