CAD
Computer-aided design (CAD), also known as computer-aided design and
drafting (CADD) , is the use of computer technology for the process of design and design-
documentation. Computer Aided Drafting describes the process of drafting with a computer.
CADD software, or environments, provides the user with input-tools for the purpose of
streamlining design processes; drafting, documentation, and manufacturing processes. CADD
output is often in the form of electronic files for print or machining operations. The
development of CADD-based software is in direct correlation with the processes it seeks to
economize; industry-based software (construction, manufacturing, etc.) typically uses vector-
based (linear) environments whereas graphic-based software utilizes raster-based (pixelated)
[Link] environments often involve more than just shapes. As in the
manual drafting of technical and engineering drawings, the output of CAD must convey
information, such as materials, processes, dimensions, and tolerances, according to
application-specific [Link] may be used to design curves and figures in two-
dimensional (2D) space; or curves, surfaces, and solids in three-dimensional (3D) objects.
CAD is an important industrial art extensively used in many applications, including
automotive, shipbuilding, and aerospace industries, industrial and architectural
design, prosthetics, and many more. CAD is also widely used to produce computer
animation for special effects in movies, advertising and technical manuals. The modern
ubiquity and power of computers means that even perfume bottles and shampoo dispensers
are designed using techniques unheard of by engineers of the 1960s. Because of its enormous
economic importance, CAD has been a major driving force for research in computational
geometry, computer graphics (both hardware and software), and discrete differential
geometry. The design of geometric models for object shapes, in particular, is occasionally
called computer-aided geometric design (CAGD).
CAM
Computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) is the use of computer software to control machine
tools and related machinery in the manufacturing of workpieces. This is not the only
definition for CAM, but it is the most common. CAM may also refer to the use of a computer
to assist in all operations of a manufacturing plant, including planning, management,
transportation and storage. Its primary purpose is to create a faster production process and
components and tooling with more precise dimensions and material consistency, which in
some cases, uses only the required amount of raw material (thus minimizing waste), while
simultaneously reducing energy consumption.
CAM is a subsequent computer-aided process after computer-aided design (CAD) and
sometimes computer-aided engineering (CAE), as the model generated in CAD and verified
in CAE can be input into CAM software, which then controls the machine tool.
CNC
CNC is short for Computer Numerical Control. It's a method used in modern machining to
perform a wide range of associated tasks. In this article, we are going to take a look at CNC
machining and how it is used in both large metalworking fabrication applications and by
thousands of home hobby enthusiasts.
Rapid Prototyping
Rapid prototyping is the automatic construction of physical objects using additive
manufacturing technology. The first techniques for rapid prototyping became available in the
late 1980s and were used to produce models and prototype parts. Today, they are used for a
much wider range of applications and are even used to manufacture production-quality parts
in relatively small numbers. Some sculptors use the technology to produce complex shapes
for fine arts exhibitions.
