Computer Aided Design supports the Design Engineering activity that includes creation of
2D/3D Geometric models doing engineering analysis, evaluating the design by simulation
and Produce Rapid Drafting for Manufacturing with the help of computers. The traditional
CAD System offers 2D Drafting, 3D modeling with Limited Modification Capability. This
system substitutes Drafting Board completely. The high end 3D CAD Tool Provides many
solutions under one platform. If alteration is made in one feature then it will automatically
change other related (dependent) features. Dimensional and Geometrical constrains play a
major role in this parametric design Technology. Testing the designs on the computer
instead of expensive and time-consuming field tests leads to significant reduction in Product
Development Cycles (PDC). Cost and time ±to-market is another advantage. The modern
CAD System helps product Design under practical constraints helps enormously imaginative
concepts.

CAM (Computer Aided Manufacturing) is defined as ³the effective use of computer

technology in manufacturing planning and control´. Often there is confusion between the
term manufacturing and production. Providing the component that is to be produced in large
quantity is called manufacturing technology.

Computer Integrated Manufacturing is an integrated approach to maintain a Common

Database for CAD, CAM and Business control. CIM includes CAD/CAM, R&D, e-publishing
and also embraces the business functions of computer technology ion all the operational and
information processing activities related to manufacturing.
