Course Synopsis:
This course provides an understanding of the basic tools used in computer aided design and
manufacture. Different modeling approaches to construct 3D model are given in this course.
12.
For CAM, the major manufacturing applications are provided, which include 2.5D Milling, 3D
Milling, Turning, Turn-Milling, and Wire EDM. The knowledge and skills gained from this
course is a good foundation for the student to learn analysis tools like Finite Element Analysis.
