Design and Manufacture of Prograssive Tool by CAD/CAM Technique: A Descriptive Study | Chapter 03 | Novel Perspectives of Engineering Research Vol. 8
In modern industry, sheet metal forming deals with intricate geometries, and the forming process consists of multiple successive processes until the final shape is achieved. At each stage, the process sequence, die geometry, perform shape/blank shape, and process parameters are designed based on previous experience and trial and error. Traditional computer-aided design (CAD) systems have significantly decreased the burden of human designers and the duration of the product design cycle. This article discusses CAD/CAM technology integration, maximising productivity through automated industry specific processes in progressive die design software, streamlining complex processes, and automating jobs for significant time savings. The goal of implementing an integrated design and manufacturing system using CAD/CAM technique is to provide an integrated approach, complete design tool to assist the designer in all phases, and the ability to build precision tooling in less time and at ...
