Analysis on the Application of Modern Manufacturing-oriented Cad/cam

In recent years, CAD/CAM has been extensively applied in global machinery with the rapid development of computer technologies. Due to the technical application of CAD/CAM in manufacturing industry, enterprises have gradually changed their traditional approaches to design and manufacture products. Meanwhile, qualitative changes begin to occur to the production process and control pattern. Hence, CAD/CAM slowly becomes fundamental for the development of modern manufacturing enterprises. In fact, modern CAD/CAM refers to a design technique and theory which effectively support the automatic design of products with the impacts of a complicated system. CAD/CAM needs to be constantly improved and developed from various perspectives pertinent to technological advancement such as design tools and environment, etc, in order that the design can become intelligent, network-based and integrated rapidly, to promptly meet the requirements for product design, reduce production costs, shorten the product design period as far as possible and improve the efficiency of product design in modern manufacturing. This paper focuses on demonstrating the concept of CAD/CAM, formation of modern manufacturing-oriented CAD/CAM, corresponding research contents, the application of CAD/CAM in modern manufacturing industry and development of modern CAD/CAM and so on.
