A CAD based Computer-Aided Tolerancing Model for Machining Processes

The Computer Aided Design (CAD) has been a very important tool for the design and manufacturing in recent years. However, the CAD has often been used as ‘Computer Aided Drafting’ for engineering parts in industry. The ‘design’ part of the CAD is often not very well implemented and by improving on it we can enhance the usefulness of the computer-based component of the manufacturing process. A ty...

A CAD based Computer-Aided Tolerancing Model for the Machining Process

An Implementation of Computer Aided Process Planning for Various Machining Operations

Process planning is the systematic determination of the sequence of the operation by which a product is to be manufactured economically and completely. Today both CAD and CAM are well developed as two islands of automation. CAPP is the link between CAD and CAM. Computer aided process planning play a key role in computer integrated manufacturing. In manual process planning, the process planner p...

A neural network based methodology for machining operations selection in Computer-Aided Process Planning for rotationally symmetrical parts

The relevant literature on machining operations selection in Computer-Aided Process Planning (CAPP) by decision trees, expert systems and neural networks has been reviewed, highlighting their contributions and shortcomings. This paper aims at contributing to the applicability of back-propagation neural network method for the selection of all possible operations for machining rotationally symmet...

Classifications and Properties of Materials for Chairside Computer-Aided Design/Computer-Aided Manufacturing Dentistry: A Review

Background and Aim: Chairside computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) systems have become considerably more accurate, reliable, efficient, fast, and prevalent since 1985 when CEREC was introduced. The inceptive restorative material option for chairside CAD/CAM restorations was limited to ceramic blocks. Today, restorative material options have been multiplied and include me...
