Integrated CAM for SolidWorks

Integrated Activities of Cad & Cam

A Commercial mechanical CAD/CAM packages provide a rather low level of automation of process planning tasks and a weak connection between their CAD and CAM/NC part programming modules. Features have primarily been used as geometry construction 'macros' without fully realizing their potential in supporting downstream applications, such as process planning. This paper demonstrates the useof featu...

An integrated CAPP/CAM system for stamping die pattern machining

Since the early 1980s, CAPP has been expected to bridge the gap between CAD and CAM. Though numerous research works on CAPP have been reported, it is not easy to ®nd a commercial CAPP system applicable to complicated objects with freeform shapes such as mold and die. The dependency on CAM system is holding one leg of CAPP, while the complexity of the solution space in freeform shape machining h...

Fully-Parallel Multi-Megabit Integrated CAM/RAM Design

Previous implementations of large-capacity Content Addressable Memories (CAMs) have employed advanced fabrication techniques or serialized operation. This paper describes a more generally applicable fullyparallel solution based on circuit and architectural innovation. A “pre-classified” CAM is integrated into the same array as its target RAM, and both use the same core cells. Architecture and o...

Integrated manufacturing features and Design-for-manufacture guidelines for reducing product cost under CAD/CAM environment

The main contribution of the work is to develop an intelligent system for manufacturing features in the area of CAD/CAM. It brings the design and manufacturing phase together in design stage and provides an intelligent interface between design and manufacturing data by developing a library of features. The library is called manufacturing feature library which is linked with commercial CAD/CAM s...
