Computer-Aided Design (CAD)

Use of computer systems to assist in the creation, modification, analysis, and optimization of a design
Typical tools:
Tolerance analysis Mass property calculations Finite-element modeling and visualization

Defines the geometry of the design

What Is Computer-aided Design (CAD Retrospective)

1990 Manufacturers take advantage of NC simulation

software to graphically depict tool paths to detect machining errors before actual metal cutting commences
1998 Chrysler becomes the first automaker to adopt a fully digital,

"Cyber-synthesis" process.

1998 Mechanical CAD vendors battle for a share of the

midrange market 2000 Moving design engineering from the desktop to the Web 2001 The same CAD data used to design cars is also used to market them

Need for CAD

To increase productivity of the designer

To improve quality of the design To improve communications To create a manufacturing database To create and test toolpaths and optimize them To help in production scheduling and MRP models To have effective shop floor control

How Does It Work?

Geometric modeling Uses basic lines, curves, and shapes to generate the geometry and topology of a part 2D Technical drawing General-Purpose drafting 3D Difficult to master Freely rotate and zoom a model

How Does It Work?

Engineering analysis and design analysis
Is also called computer-aided engineering
Tests and analyzes designs on the computer screen

Automated drafting and documentation

Produces engineering drawings directly from the CAD

database More advanced documentation merges text and graphics to produce assembly drawings, bills of material, instruction manuals and reports, parts catalogs, and sales brochures

Advantages
Reduce the lead time for new product introduction

Products can be tested more quickly

Costly mistakes in design or production can be avoided

Time to manufacture can be reduced

Documentation can be printed in various forms for multiple users

The quality of designs and the products manufactured from them is improved
