The impact of the technology of Computer-Aided Design and Manufacturing in automobile engineering, marine engineering and aerospace engineering has been tremendous. Using computers in manufacturing is receiving particular prominence as industries seek to improve product quality, increase productivity and to reduce inventory costs. Therefore, the emphasis has been attributed to the subject of CAD and its integration with CAM. Designed as a textbook for the undergraduate students of mechanical engineering, production engineering and industrial engineering, it provides a description of both the hardware and software of CAD/CAM systems.

The Coverage Includes

 Principles of interactive computer graphics

 Wireframe, surface and solid modelling

 Finite element modelling and analysis

 NC part programming and computer-aided part programming

 Machine vision systems

 Robot technology and automated guided vehicles

 Flexible manufacturing systems

 Computer integrated manufacturing

 Artificial intelligence and expert systems

 Communication systems in manufacturing

PEDAGOGICAL FEATURES

 CNC program examples and APT program examples

 Review questions at the end of every chapter

 A comprehensive Glossary

 A Question Bank at the end of the chapters
