Computer-Aided Design (CAD) systems enable a designer to design 3D objects on a computer. This course will introduce the basic modelling tools provided by CAD systems and explain how the system represents geometric shapes on the computer.
Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM) is the technology that concerns the use of computers to assist in manufacturing processes. This course will explain how CAD data can be used to generate the information that does this.
Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE) concerns the analysis of engineering parts or processes. This course will briefly explain the fundamental theory and application of CAE in the stress and strain analysis of mechanical parts.
Rapid Prototyping (RP) refers to a class of new layer-based manufacturing technologies that provide a fully automatic solution for producing physical prototype models used widely by engineers, architects, mathematicians, artists, teachers and many other professionals for the quick communication of shapes and designs, as well as rapid product development and manufacturing. This course will provide an overview of the technology and its applications. |
