Aim: The student will learn to
a) create models of machine parts and assemblies of these using a CAD-system and a graphical workstation.
b) use computer aided systems (CAD/CAM systems) in process planning.
Contents: Geometric modelling, solid modelling, surface description, Boolean operations on solid models, transfer to drafting programs, dimensioning, programming in CAD-systems, assembly of solid models to systems. Introduction to numerically controlled machine tools, computer aided process planning (CAPP), post processing and simulation. Exercises in 3-D modelling. Drawings of the models. Solid models based on 2-D profiles and drafting of 3-D models.
Exercises in generation of control data for processes in point to point operations, turning, 2- and 3-axis, milling, flame/laser cutting, punching and wire EDM.
