MCE 511 COMPUTER AIDED DESIGN AND MANUFACTURING E – NOTE 3 Units Course Lecturer – Engr. Prof. Sam. B. ADEJUYIGBE INTRODUCTION The technology that has the greatest impact on the production system over the last decades is computer technology. For any meaningful technological, or industrial design, or manufacturing breakthrough in developing countries like Nigeria, it is time to abandon the old traditional ways of manual preparation in favour of more consistent and faster tool as Computer-Aided Design/Drafting/Manufacturing/Process Planning/Computer Aided Engineering (CAD/CADD/CAM/CAPP/CAE), so that fast accurate data drawings and manufactured products can be correctly obtained in good time. The basic concepts, challenges and motivation of Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE) in developing countries like Nigerian is looked at in this paper using twenty six (26) Industries scattered in the Southern part of Nigeria.National and International competition in manufacturing is causing industrial leaders to look at new strategies for remaining competitive and improving quality in their products. Developments in the computer industry are having profound impact on the manufacturing industries from design to machine processing as well as the management and marketing components. Governments of all industrialized countries place great emphasis on the development of their manufacturing sectors. It is great importance, not only as a means of supporting sustainable growth, but also because of the nature of the technological developments that have taken place particularly over the last decade. Industrialization has a particular significant role to play in the amelioration of power and unemployment. Acceleration of industrial development of any nation depends on maximum utilization of Industrial Automation and Computer Aided Engineering (CAE). Therefore, the Nigerian Industries will have to imbibe the Computer Aided Engineering and its entire facet for improved productivity and rapid product development The trend in manufacturing call for the development of the following modern day manufacturing systems. There are: -Global competition in the manufacturing market; -Customers now demanded high-quality goods, with low production cost and timely delivery of manufacturing products. -Increase in the variety of products produced, thereby choosing the product life cycles to be shorter. Therefore, the modern day technology that manufacturing systems make use of are discussed in this write up.. Manufacturing system entails a large number of interdependent activities consisting of distinct entities such as materials, tools, machine, power, and human beings. It is a complex system because it is comprised of many diverse physical and, human elements. The choice are many,
so the manufacturing engineers should be able to select correct which one to choose, that will profit the whole manufacturing system. BASIC CONCEPTS Computers are widely used throughout manufacturing industry. Hence in this paper introduction is made to all the relevant basic concepts of the computer applications to COMPUTERComputer is a machine that handles information with amazing speed. It works with such information as names and address hook titles, lists of item sold in stores, mathematical problems and weather forecasts. It handles information in the form of numbers. It solves problems dealing numbers. The fattest computers can do millions of problems in a few seconds (4,5,6). A computer by definition simply adds, subtracts, compares and store data. Computers are universally recognized as the most powerful and effective tool for improving productivity in industry, which is the single, most important concern of every manufacturing manager. Computers excel in three areas of manufacture namely: -Collecting information: -Reaching a decision; and -Issuing and order. COMPUTER – AIDED ENGINEERING (CAE) CAE systems can provide support to businesses. This is achieved by the use of reference architectures and their ability to place information views on the business process. Reference architecture is the basis from which information model, especially product and manufacturing models. Computers are used throughout as an aid in the manufacturing process. Some of the engineering application of computer is manufacturing fall mainly into the following areas of Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) which comprises all area of: •Computer Aided Design [CAD]; •Computer Design and Drafting (CADD) ; •Computer Aided Manufacturing [CAM]; •NC, CNC, AND DNC Machines; •Computer Material Handling System (Robotics) ; •Computer Aided Plant Layout (CAPL); •Computer Aided Design/Manufacturing (CAD/CAM) ; •Computer Integrated Manufacturing [CIM]; •Computer Aided Process Planning and Control [CAPPC] •Computer Aided Material Handling (CAPM); •Computer Aided Quality Assurance (CAQA); •Computer Aided Maintenance Management (CAMM);
