Abstract

The module computer aided engineering has briefly explains about how production
operations are carried out in industries with the use of computer to meet the global challenge and to
market any product globally the manufacturer will be focusing the following aspects to manufacture
the product with good quality, the cost of the product should be very less, cycle time should be less
and productivity and efficiency has to be raised to meet this aspects computer aided engineering is
the solution. And the latest technologies in CAE like Reverse engineering and Rapid prototyping
help the manufacturer to create the engineering data from existing products and to modify and
introduce a new product in shorter lead time. The elements of Computer aided engineering are CAD
(computer aided design), CAM (computer aided manufacturing), CIM (computer integrated
manufacturing), CAPP (computer aided process planning) etc, which supports the manufacture in
different aspects to manufacture their product.
The Part-A assignment is the debate about the CNC programmers now a days in industries the
usage of conventional machines is with limited application due to various advantages industries
switch over to either NC/CNC/DNC all these latest machines the relative movement of cutting tool
and work piece are controlled by the data or codes called numerical control programme which can
be generated either manually by finding out the co-ordinates or by means of the use of CAD/CAM
software the debate is about the scope of NC manual programmers by the year 2020
The Part-B assignment involves in creation of the assembly drawing of the swivel machine vise
with the use of CAD software CATIA V5R18 it includes
¾ Creation of individual elements of the assembly in part work bench
¾ Assembled and various analysis has to be carried out in assembly work bench
The Part-C assignment creating the surface on the wire frame water scooter which is provided
in IGES format and various surface analysis and rendering of the image has to be carried out in
CATIA V5R18.

PART-A DEBATE

1.0 Introduction
In present days industries calculate time is equal to money to compitate in business it is
required to produce good quality products in the less cost this will be achieved by increased
productivity CNC technology is been used widely in industries to increase productivity such as
metal cutting machines- Milling, Turning, etc metal forming machines like bending forming
machines metal molding machines like injection molding etc inspection – CMM,LMM and so on the
programming for this machines is done using CAD/CAM software. The development of NC come
across the following stages.
1) Stage1-NC machines programming is done by punch tape and fed into tape reader

Fig1.1 NC programme generated on punch tape[1]


2) Stage 2- CNC in this a small computer is fixed in machine itself by which the parameter
changes can be edited in the computer present in machine.
3) Stage 3- DNC programme is generated in mainframe computer and distributed to many
number of CNC machines

1.1Advantages of using CAD/CAM for CNC programming


1.1.1 Chances of error
In present days number of axis is been increased to make the machine more versatile for 5
axes machining centre the movement will be represented in CNC programme by ADDRESS
CODES- X,Y,Z,A,C as x-longitudinal movement of table in X axis, Y-lateral movement of table in
Y axis, Z-spindle movement towards and away from work piece in Z axis, A- Rotation of Table in X
axis, C-Rotation of Spindle head along Z axis in manual programming it is difficult for the
programmer to consider all these axes in the machines and programme the tool path but it is possible
in CAD/CAM based programming

<Computer aided engineering>

M.S Ramaiah School of Advanced Studies –Postgraduate Engineering and Management Programme (PEMP)

1.1.2 Setup time


Setup time will be reduced in CAD/CAM based programming since the software itself
provides Tool list, power graph etc which can also be used for documentation purpose where as in
manual programming has to remember all the specification of various types of tools used for various
operation
1.1.3 Modification of programme
When there is modification of profile modification of programme is very easy in CAD/CAM
based programming that is by once again by editing the profile created for programme generation
NC programme can be created for new profile but in case of manual programming identifying the
block which has to be edited will take more time
1.1.4 Error detection
The process of simulation is available in CAD/CAM based programming through which the
cutting tool movement while machining and the profile which we get after machining can be viewed
so error in the programme is easily identified.
1.1.5 Effective use of machine and cutting tool
In case of CAD/CAM based programming the cutting tool and machine will be effectively
used were the standard machining process is followed like wile giving depth of cut milling cutter
will not be directly plunged on the work piece instead an entry helix is provided automatically
through which cutter will move in angular path so load on cutter will be less which increases tool
life where as in manual programming these parameters are not considered

1.2 Case study supporting CAD/CAM based programming


In modern days industries manufacture very complicated profiles in their products to create
such complicated profiles complicated machines are required one of such development is 5-axes
machining centre the common axes present in this are shown below

Fig 1.2 [2] Fig 1.3[2]


Fig 1.2 &Fig 1.3 showing axes present in 5 axes CNC machine

<Computer aided engineering>


3
M.S Ramaiah School of Advanced Studies –Postgraduate Engineering and Management Programme (PEMP)

With the application of 5-axes machining centre very complicated profiles can be machined,
while machining the axes movement can be individually or combination of all the axes any small
error occurred in programming will be resulting in accidents which leads to spoilage of machine and
work piece so only CAD/CAM based programming is suitable for this type of machine even if
manual programming will not be effectively using the axes of the machine.

Fig1.4 Forging die of bevel gear[2 ] Fig1.5 Showing tool path while machining[2 ]
In Fig 1.4 profile of a complicated forging die of bevel gear which is been machined using
CNC machines for machining such complicated profiles CAD/CAM based programming is the
suitable method.
In Fig 1.5 showing the tool path generated by CAD/CAM Software which will be the
effective method for machining such profiles in reduced cycle time of machining with increased tool
life and without any strain hardening generation in work piece but in manual programming
identifying such tool path will be difficult.
The other advantage in CAM based programming is creating programme for core and cavity
is very easy using either any one of part say with core profile immediately the programme for cavity
profile can be created it also suits for punch and die but in case of manual programming co-ordinates
has to be find out separately and programming has to be done individually
1.3 Conclusion
By 2020 there will be the tremendous development in field of CNC machineries with
various axes which is also required because most of the products gets modified day to day and also
to satisfy the customer product is to be manufactured in very short lead time and also manual
programming has only limited application. Instead of skill full programmers industries will choose
CAD/CAM software

PART-C Geometric modeling of Water scooter

3.0 Surface modeling


Surface modeling is the methods for creating the surface on wireframe geometry The
thickness of surface created using this modeling method is negligible. The complicated profiles
which cannot be defined by the primitive shapes like spheres, cylinders, cubes, blocks etc has to be
created by surface modeling example the complex shape of automobiles, aircraft, ship structures etc,
In CATIA we can create the surface models and rendering is done to visualize the product using
Real time rendering. Material property is given to these models. Also we can use these models to
manufacture the product. The main application surface modeling is also in Reverse engineering
where cloud points are generated using laser scanning technique NURBS are fitted to cloud points
then surface is generated and finally NC programme is generated.

3.1 Surface modeling procedure of water scooter


¾ Initially the wire frame model provided in IGES format is loaded into generative shapes
design work bench
¾ Since the one half of the water scooter is symmetrical to other half the half portion of the
image is hided
¾ Some discontinuous and extra lines are to be detected and deleted
¾ Using the operations like SWEEP, MULTI SECTION, FILL, BLEND etc the surface is
created on the wireframe model of the water scooter
¾ Once the half portion is finished the remaining portion is created by mirroring
¾ Material property is applied to water scooter
¾ Real time rendering is done

4.1 Comments on learning outcome.


The module has given inputs regarding recent developments in engineering
industries like CAD/CAM/CIM/CAPP etc about how to interpret a technical drawing various
projections available and difference between those projections and also about PDM, PLM and
concurrent engineering which is very much required in an industry to be maintained and the recent
developed technologies like Reverse engineering and Rapid prototypes techniques which helps to
introduce a new product in a market in very short lead time and also the real concept of GD&T that
is by providing GD&T to production drawing will actually increases the tolerance. The module also
given the inputs regarding application of various CAD/CAM and CAE software based on its
functions in engineering field. The lab secession has given a live demonstration on Reverse
engineering and Rapid prototyping starting from cloud points generation using laser scanner to a
realistic object creation using RP machine and also the lab session of CATIA was very useful varies
work benches like Sketcher work bench, Part work bench, Product work bench, Assembly
workbench, Generative shape design work bench, DMU kinematics work bench and Drafting was
exposed during the module.
