Computer Aided Manufacture
Cards in this deck (4)
- 1CAM-a process that converts drawings produced from CAD into actual products.Lathes, routers, milling machines and laser cutters.Machines controlled by a computer that guides the machine through an entire manufacturing process-computer numerical control (CNC).
- 2Ad-Once initial costs are made, machines able to work 24/7, with little human intervention. Products consistently accurate. Reliable, can be reprogrammed and very flexible.But initial Cam system set-up costs high.
- 3Lathes-metal, produce accurate and complex shapes that would be difficult to produce on hand operated lathes.Routers-Wood,foam. Similar to milling machines but using softer materials. Used for block modelling, can cut 2D and 3D shapes.
- 4Milling Machines-Metals. Produce flat and complex curved shapes. In industry work to fine tolerances.Laser Cutters-Plastic, wood, card. Cuts with intense beam of light, material does not require clamping, can cut both simple and complex shapes.
