CAD/CAM Lab

Nowadays as the technology improving more and more we no longer require the use of protractors and compasses to create drawings, instead there are several classes that focus on the use of various software. This laboratory mainly deals with the detailed engineering of 3D models and/or 2D drawings of physical components using CAD software, but it is also used throughout the engineering process from conceptual design and layout of products, through strength and dynamic analysis of assemblies to definition of manufacturing methods of components. It can also be used to design objects. Computer-aided design (CAD) is the use of computer systems to assist in the creation, modification, analysis, or optimization of a design. CAD software is used to increase the productivity of the designer, improve the quality of design, improve communications through documentation, and to create a database for manufacturing. Computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) is the use of computer software to control machine tools and related machinery in the manufacturing of workpieces. This lab deals with drafting and designing purpose. The list of software are tabulated below.
