Advantages and disadvantages of CAD CAM
Computer Aided Design
Using 2-dimensional CAD software, designers can create accurate, scaled drawings of parts and assemblies for designs. It can also be used to develop and firm up design ideas by concentrating on single views and using the range of geometric tools available.
Orthographic drawings can be used for reference during manufacturing and assembling components.
They can also be converted into cutting paths for 2-dimensional machining of outline shapes, pockets and grooves on CNC machines.
These days most drawings are generated automatically from 3D CAD models - dimensions for manufacture and other details are then added to the drawingAdvantages |
