Introduction of CADCAM
CAD is the process of utilizing computers to create and edit design models and
drawings. CAD systems are powerful tools and are used in the design and geometric
modeling of components and products as shown on figure 1.1. Drawings are generated at
workstations and the design is displayed on the monitor. Designer can conceptualize the
part to be designed on the graphics screen and can modify particular design to meet
specific design requirements.
Figure 1.1
Activity of CAD process includes mass properties, FEA, dimensioning, tolerance,
assembly modeling, generating shaded images, documentation & drafting. Figure 1.2
shows the disciplines of CAD. CAD Technology is faster than conventional methods,
easy to develop the model and associated drafting, possible to manipulate various

dimension, attributes and distance of drawing, accurately calculate the geometric
properties, easy to modify a model, use of standard components (part libraries) and
provide 3D (three dimensional) visualization. Existing CAD software available in the
market is AutoCAD, Pro Engineer, Solid Works, CATIA, Unigraphics and I-DEAS.
Computer-aided design (CAD) is the use of computer technology for the design of
objects, real or virtual. CAD often involves more than just shapes. As in the manual
drafting of technical and engineering drawings, the output of CAD often must convey
also symbolic information such as materials, processes, dimensions, and tolerances,
according to application-specific conventions.
CAD may be used to design curves and figures in two-dimensional ("2D") space;
or curves, surfaces, or 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 shipbuilders 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.

Safety Precautions
a) Read and understand the operator’s manual and all warnings on the machine
before operating.
b) Never place any part of your body near or on moving part of this machine because
this machine starts and moves automatically.
c) Always wait for the spindle to stop completely before touching the workpiece,
tool or spindle.
d) Do not separate this machine unless all guards, interlocks and other safety devices
are in place and functioning.
e) Always clamp the work piece and cutting tool tightly.
f) Always be sure that the cutting tool and the work piece are properly mounted
before starting the machine.
g) Before you handle any work piece, remove all burrs and sharp edges with a file.
h) Service or installation of this machine must be performed by qualified personnel
only, following the procedures described in manual. Turn of and lock out the
power at main electrical panel before servicing.

For the conclusion this lab report CAD/CAM, student will able to create
2D geometries drawings using Mastercam software. They will apply machining
parameters in machining operation for pocketing, facing, contouring and drilling.
By using CAD/CAM student can create, preview and editing a tool path.They also
can simulate the tool path and operation. Other than that, student can understand
the function of operation manager and post-processing to generate NC program
(ISO code).
At industrial side, student will able to satisfy the employee with the skill
about conducting CAD/CAM machine. Student will be able to study the software
with a good condition and my opinion there are recommendation needs to
improves because all machine or pc is well in maintenance although student is
very comfort to study
