SOLIDWORKS VS PROENGINEER AND THE USE OF CAD/CAM SOFTWARES IN CNC MACHINING Today, the most popular and most used computer aided design software used for modeling are Solidworks and Pro Engineer. Both these software are widely used as both have their strengths and weaknesses. We can’t simply decide that which software is the standout winner in the competition. ProE and solidworks, both have similar tools to create 2D and 3D models but use of the tools is a bit different for modeling. ProEngineer became a prominent 3D modeling application in the late 90’s as it was created before SolidWorks. ProE was dominating the field of modeling as the engineers were able to view a part and could rotate in on the screen and it was a great breakthrough …show more content…
With help of CAD/CAM, the programming potential of CNC is increased and it can perform harder and complex 3 axis jobs. A CAD-CAM system completely automates the machining process. Similarly, for 4 and 5 Axis CNC machining, CAD-CAM software gives the solutions to tasks much easier. Today, advanced CAD-CAM operations have a CAM Tree Manager that permits us to keep a track of the job from beginning to end. This gives full control over work coordinates and processing which results in high control and astonishing finishing of the parts completed quickly. Another advantage of CAD/CAM is that it provides high-speed machine toolpaths that reduce the cycle times and results in reduction in machine wear and tear. The quality of cutting is also improved and productivity of CNC machine has also been increased. A powerful feature of CAD-CAM is simulation. This permits us to visually inspect the machining process, before the part is reached to the CNC machine Simulation gives information from the toolpath and part deviation. This level of advanced programming is very difficult or almost impossible without CAD/CAM. CAD/CAM now offers amazing artistic features that can be applied on the products through CNC
As an aspiring engineer this topic is very important to me because I may work in this field when I am older.

Computer aided design or CAD is one program used to help design. Since the AutoDesk 's introduction of AutoCAD software in 1982, Autodesk continues to develop AutoCAD software for global markets. Once the robot is working properly on the computer, it becomes a prototype. When the robot is built, there is usually much more work to be done like programing, fixing and marketing (Mara 35). Engineering is an innovative way to solve problems that take advantage of technological
I relish working creatively and imaginatively during the design process whilst at the same time developing my practical skills and experiences. Through reading ‘Making It’ 2nd Edition by Chris Lefteri my eyes were opened to the vast number of ‘Manufacturing Techniques for Product Design’ and it sparked an unquenchable interest in the practical aspects of the subject, manufacturing processes and materials. In particular, stereolithography for rapid prototyping intrigued me. I have worked on a number of projects such as a fishing rod support system. This was a compact, lightweight, versatile supporting frame to securely hold multiple fishing rods while static fishing from a riverbank.
Emerging technologies in 3-dimensional scanning, printing, and selective laser sintering (SLS) offer numerous advantages over traditional methods (Pallari, 2010). CAD/CAM technologies may offer a more cost-effective alternative to the traditional methods of plaster casting and foam impressions (Payne,
Charles W. Hull coined the term “stereolithography” and patented the method of the same as well in the year 1986. According to Charles, “stereolithography is the method of making solid objects by successively laying down thin layers of ultraviolet curable material one layer at a time through the use apparatus”. 3D SYSTEM INC. which is based in Rock Hill, South Carolina was the first company to generalize and commercialize the procedure. Charles entitled the patent as “APPARATUS FOR PRODUCTION OF THREE-DIMENSIONAL OBJECTS BY STEREOLITHOGRAPHY” in his U.S. patent 4,575,330.
6 Pros and Cons of BOQ The pros and cons of the BOQ 's have been faced off regarding and thought upon for a long time now and the contention has produced some unequivocally held sentiments and numerous varying perspectives. BOQ has two essential uses in development; the first is the pre-contract phase of tendering and the second is at the post contract stage where it is utilized by the foreman and QS to esteem work and value varieties from the configuration. Preferences and disservices of BOQ is as per the following, Pros • Spare the expense and time of a few contactors measuring the same plan keeping in mind the end goal to ascertain their offers for rivalry. • The valuing subtle elements inside the BOQ give an expense database to
• Busy contractors might prefer the LineLazer IV 3900 Auto-Layout System as it can reduce time by more than 25 percent. Bending to read measurements or mark lines becomes unnecessary, and calculation errors are also eliminated. • The Graco LineDriver HD is a ride-on system that can cut striping time by as much as 50 percent while
If the customer has a problem, they will find a way to fix it. Their product design and manufacturing process begins with a product concept or need from the customer. They get their information from surveys and store visits. Once they have their concept, they continue onto developing the product, which involves creating different prototypes and product testing. Once they are satisfied with a prototype, they continues onto the product commercialization stage, where they make the product sellable.

Fusing advanced development technology into construction industry can expand levels of value, proficiency, safety, maintainability and incentive for money. The advanced technologies in construction industry are very useful for all type of small and large scale construction projects.
Very similar to real life engineering, we are tasked with designing and constructing various projects based on a set of requirements or problems. I have always been incredibly successful in this class achieving high marks, and in grade 11 receiving the award for the highest mark for my grade. Although not a prerequisite for any engineering programs, I believe that it greatly benefits all potential engineering students. It puts our teachings into practice to solve real life situations, giving us a preview into the future as engineers. Scheduling conflicts prevented me from taking this great course in grade 12.
• Due to use of various Tools etc in Prototyping Vs Production Model has lead to Non-Conformity with the desired results at Production Model. • Using Clay Model & Used part Designer Drawing, as compared to Pre-Production Tools in Prototyping Stage has lead to Quality Issues. It has lead to masking several mfg. issues. It requires more skilled labor, cost & time. • The Mixed Model Ramp-Up Strategy, Produces New Series on same Production Line as Old Model.
Introduction: Internal combustion engines play a dominant role in transportation and energy production. Even a slight improvement will translate into considerable reductions in pollutant emissions and impact on the environment. The two major types of internal combustion engines are the Otto and the Diesel engine. The former relies on an ignition source to start combustion, the latter works in auto ignition mode.
Constraction: On Air Building a constraction model is different from building an usual brick model. First you must have a decent collection of parts in the scheme you want to build in, and a basic understanding of how to work with technic parts. You must also have standard computer knowledge. You should not start out by completely sorting out all of your constraction parts. Constraction has too many different categories to separate them logically.
