CAD/CAM = Computer Aided Design/ Computer Aided Manufacturing
It is the technology concerned with the use of computers to perform design and manufacturing functions
2
CAD can be defined as the use of computer systems to perform certain functions in the design process
CAM is the use of computer systems to plan, manage and control the operations of manufacturing plant through either direct or indirect computer interface with the plant’s production resources

From CAM definition, the application of CAM falls into two broad categories:
1. Computer monitoring and control

In order to establish the scope and definition of CAD/CAM in an engineering environment and identify existing and future related tools, a study of a typical product cycle is necessary. The following Figure shows a flowchart of such a cycle-

Typical Product Life Cycle
The product begins with a need which is identified based on customers' and markets' demands
The product goes through two main processes from the idea conceptualization to the finished product:
1. The design process 2. The manufacturing process
The main sub-processes that constitute the
designprocess are:
1. Synthesis2. Analysis

Automation can be defined as the technology concerned with the application of complex mechanical, electronic, and computer-based systems in the operation and control of manufacturing systems.

Types of Manufacturing Systems
1. Continuous-flow processes. Continuous dedicated production of large amount of bulk product. Continuous manufacturing is represented by chemicals, plastics, petroleum, and food industries.
2. Mass production of discrete products. Dedicated production of large quantities of one product (with perhaps limited model variations). Examples include automobiles, appliances and engine blocks.
3. Batch production. Production of medium lot sizes of the same product. The lot may be produced once or repeated periodically. Examples: books, clothing and certain industrial machinery.
4. Job-shop production. Production of low quantities, often one of a kind, of specialized products. The products are often customized and technologically complex. Examples: prototypes, aircraft, machine tools and other equipment.

Computer-integrated manufacturing (CIM) is the manufacturing approach of using computers to control the entire production process
This integration allows individual processes to exchange info with each other and initiate actions
Through the computers integration, manufacturing can be faster and less error-prone, although the main advantage is the ability to create automated manufacturing processes
Typically CIM relies on closed-loop control processes, based on real-time input from sensors
It is also known as flexible design and manufacturing
27
CIM reduces the human component of manufacturing and thereby relieves the process of its slow, expensive and error-prone component
In a CIM system functional areas such as design, analysis, planning, purchasing, cost accounting, inventory control, and distribution are linked through the computer with factory floor functions such as materials handling and management, providing direct control and monitoring of all the operations.

As a method of manufacturing, three components distinguish CIM from other manufacturing methodologies:› Means for data storage, retrieval,
manipulation and presentation› Mechanisms for sensing state and
modifying processes› Algorithms for uniting the data
processing component with the sensor/modification component
30
Manufacturing engineers are required to achieve the following objectives to be competitive in a global context› Reduction in inventory› Lower the cost of the product› Reduce waste› Improve quality› Increase flexibility in manufacturing to
achieve immediate and rapid response to: Product & Production changes Process & Equipment change Change of personnel
31
Integration of technologies brings following benefits:
1. Creation of a truly interactive system that enables manufacturing functions to communicate easily with other relevant functional units
2. Accurate data transferability among manufacturing plant or subcontracting facilities at implant or diverse locations
3. Faster responses to data-changes for manufacturing flexibility
4. Increased flexibility towards introduction of new products
5 Improved accuracy and quality in the manufacturing process
32
6. Improved quality of the products7. Control of data-flow among various units
and maintenance of user-library for system-wide data
8. Reduction of lead times which generates a competitive advantage
9. Streamlined manufacturing flow from order to delivery
10. Easier training and re-training facilities
