1.0 Introduction
According to (RAO, 2011) CAD CAM define to computer software that is used to both
design and manufacture products. CAD is the use of computer technology for design and
design documentation. 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 to generate tool paths that drive the
machines that turn the designs into physical parts. CAD/CAM software is most often used
for machining of prototypes and finished parts.
However, in the past three decades CAD/CAM technology has been successfully
diffused into the manufacturing industry and resulted in significant improvement in
productivity and competitiveness. Advances in computer and communications technologies
have made computer assisted work groups potentially the most convenient and the most
powerful mechanism for geographically distributed groups of people wishing to
communicate. The increasing trend towards manufacturing globalisation has led to the need
for a collaborative CAD/CAM system. Nowadays, the computer are integrated with the
machine to help in the production services. Whereby this integration provide a faster ways for
a manufacturer to produce a prototype to a client. This led the reduction of the waiting time
towards a completion of a project. In a way, it bring down the cost of a product. This reason
become the prime reason for this to be studied and applied in industries.
With the development of computer and information science, CAD/CAM is becoming
more and more important. As a relatively new course in college education, there are a less
reasonable planning and effective integration between the CAD/CAM and other basic
knowledge. For example, CAD basic course is added to foundation class curriculum of
mechanical design, while CAD/CAM technology course is added to manufacturing
technology. That make the content of CAD/CAM course overlap and leave out some
important teaching content so that the teaching effect and efficiency are affected. The teacher
is taken as the center in the tradition CAD/CAM course. Therefore, students are lack of
enthusiasm to learn. Due to the CAD/CAM course lay particular stress on teach mathematics
and computing information knowledge, the students are stuck in technical whirlpool.
Compared with theoretical teaching, practical teaching is a weak link in teaching process. The
problem of practice teaching mainly reflects in the following aspects: the management system
of practical teaching is not perfect enough, the arrangements of content and time exist a large
arbitrariness in practical teaching ,failing to establish system standard practice teaching
assessment method, theory is excessively valued while practice is neglected. It is necessary to
construct a new teaching model, which can make the students play the main role under the
guidance of the teacher.
So as a way, to break the problem as highlighted above and cultivate the
understanding and knowledge of CAD/CAM. KM43803 course provides a conducive
teaching towards this subject by allowing students to design in CAD and used CAM to
provide the machine code (G-code) to operate the Computer Numerical Machine (CNC).
