The aim of this course is to give students a basic understanding of the product cycle, hardware and software environment of Computer Aided Design/ Manufacturing (CAD/CAM) and necessary tools and techniques of CAD/CAM so that they will be able to design a total manufacturing solution for a given product and/or enhance the performance of a manufacturing entity.
Intended Learning Outcomes:
At the end of this course, students should be able to:
ILO1: Describe the major hardware components in CAD/CAM environment.
ILO2: Apply mathematical representations of basic geometrical entities in developing algorithms and programmes for drawing entities, animation interactives in a CAD environment.
ILO3: Construct a model of a given product by means of CAD tools, by considering manufacturing operations within the product cycle, for CNC machining or 3D printing.
ILO4: Analyse the model/product by means of Finite Element Analysis method.
ILO5: Compose part programs (both manually and using CAM tools) for a given product to verify and manufacture using CNC Machines or 3D printers.
Recommended Texts:
