2. Computer Aided Manufacturing
Computer aided Manufacturing is defined
as the effective use of computer technology
in the planning, management and control of
manufacturing functions.

3. Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM) is the use of
computers to assist the manufacturing process. CAD and
CAM are combined CAD/CAM so that the output of the CAD
module is fed to the CAM system. The design can be
converted into a sequence of processes (drilling, turning,
milling etc) for manufacture on a Numerically Controlled (NC)
machine

6. The application of CAM
The application of CAM can be divided into two categories
1 Manufacturing Planning
2 Manufacturing control
The two categories represent two different levels of
involvement of computer in the operation of the plant
Manufacturing planning:-
CAM application for manufacturing planning are those in
which the computer is used indirectly to support the
production function, but there is no direct connections
between the computer and process.
The computer is used as off line to provide information
for effective planning and management of production
activities V.K.MODI BBIT 2023
7. Important application
•Cost estimating
• Computer aided process planning(CAPP)
•Computerized machinability data system
•Computer assisted NC or CNC part programming
•Development of work standards
•Computer aided line balancing
•Production and inventory planning.

8. Manufacturing Control
1. The second category of CAM application is
concerned with developing computer System for
implementing the manufacturing control function
Manufacturing control is concerned with managing
and controlling the physical operations in the
factory. Process control, Quality control, shop floor
control and process monitoring are all included in
the scope of this function
The application of the computer process are
pervasive today in automated production systems.
They include transfer lines, assembly systems,
numerical Control robotics, material handling and
flexible manufacturing system

15. CNC Machine
The Electronic Industries Association
defines CNC as The Numerical Control
System where in a dedicated stored –
program computer is used to perform
some or all of the basis NC functions in
accordance with control programs stored
in the Read-write memory of the
computer

35. Direct Numerical Control
The electronic industries association has define DNC as
A system connecting a set of numerically controlled
machines to a common memory for part program or
machine program storage with
Provision for on demand distribution of data to
Machine
The important difference between DNC and CNC
Is the elimination of dedicated computer by A
Large computer that manages many machines
