What is computer-aided design & computer-
aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) software
Computer-aided design & computer-aided
manufacturing (CAD/CAM) software is used to design and
manufacture prototypes, finished products, and production
runs of products
CAD can be defined as creating, modifying, and
optimizing design using a computer system. It can
generate:
•2D draft/drawing files
•3D wireframe models
•3D surface models
•3D solid models
CAM is the use of computer software to control
machine tools related to machinery in the
manufacturing of workpieces.

Capabilities of CAM Software:

•Manufacturing processes development
•generation and verification of toolpath
•prototype development
•CNC programming
•tool path optimization
•effective machining strategies to reduce cost and
time
Additive Manufacturing
(3D Printing)
 Additive Manufacturing
(3D Printing)

Additive manufacturing (AM) or additive layer

manufacturing (ALM) is the industrial production name for
3D printing, a computer-controlled process that creates
three dimensional objects by depositing materials, usually
in layers.
 Additive Manufacturing
(3D Printing)
What are the Advantages of using Additive Manufacturing?
Additive Manufacturing (AM) offers advantages like
creating custom parts with complex designs and minimal waste,
perfect for rapid prototyping. The digital process allows efficient
design changes during manufacturing, reducing costs for high-
value parts and shortening lead times compared to traditional
subtractive techniques.
ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING PROCESSES
There are number of distinct AM processes with their
own standards, which include:
1. Binder Jetting
2. Directed Energy Deposition
3. Material Extrusion
4. Powder Bed Fusion
5. Sheet Lamination
6. Vat Polymerisation
7. Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (Now known as
Directed Energy Deposition-Arc (DED-arc))
Robotics and Autonomation in
Manufacturing
Robotics and Autonomation in
Manufacturing
Robotics and CAD/CAM are transformative
technologies in manufacturing, with increasing demand
expected as they further develop and become more widely
adopted. The ongoing debate centers on whether traditional
engineering or technology fields will produce the experts
needed for the future in these domains, emphasizing the
importance of current education in shaping tomorrow's
experts.
Robotics and Autonomation in
Manufacturing
Automation can assist the manufacturing
industry by reducing labor costs substantially,
increase quantity or generate more output for a
given period of time, improve product quality, and
mitigate risk.
PROS and CONS of using Industrial Robot
in Manufacturing Operations
Pros: Cons:
1. Better quality and 1. High initial investment
consistency 2. Expertise can be scarce
2. Maximum productivity and 3. Ongoing costs
throughput
3. Greater safety
4. Reduced direct labor costs
5. Keeping manufacturing in
the U.S.
 Industry 4.0 and
Smart Manufacturing
 Industry 4.0 and
Smart Manufacturing

Industry 4.0 is reshaping manufacturing through

technologies like IoT, cloud computing, analytics, AI,
and machine learning. Smart factories leverage
advanced sensors, software, and robotics for data
collection, analysis, and decision-making.
 Industry 4.0 and
Smart Manufacturing
Smart manufacturing diverges from traditional
approaches by prioritizing real-time responsiveness over
batch processing and machine utilization. Traditional
methods focus on economy of scale and large inventories,
whereas smart manufacturing emphasizes flexibility and
efficiency.
Application of CAD/CAM
 Application of CAD/CAM
CAD/CAM applications are used
to both design a product and program
manufacturing processes, specifically,
CNC machining. CAM software uses
the models and assemblies created in
CAD software, like Fusion 360, to
generate toolpaths that drive machine
tools to turn designs into physical
parts. CAD/CAM software is used to
design and manufacture prototypes,
finished parts, and production runs.
 Application of CAD/CAM
Cnc machining is a
manufacturing process in which pre-
programmed computer software
dictate the movement of the factory
tools and machinery
