Computer-aided manufacturing, CAM

Computer aided design (CAD)/computer-aided manufacture (CAM) programs have been developed to carry out the necessary calculations. One current system known as Polyflow is offered by a Belgian organisation (Polyflow SA). Polyflow can be used to calculate three-dimensional flow and die swell, using finite element analysis. Other systems are available.

Mathematical models are used for these purposes in the plastic/ chemical, petrochemical, and other industries. Computer-aided design (CAD), computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) are use in product designs and product manufacturing operations. The essential elements of any model of a physical process are threefold the geometry, the relevant laws of physical conservation (momentum, mass, and energy), and the specific constitutive relations (see the Software section in Chapter 9). 

Stereolithography is a technique widely adopted in industry in conjunction with computer-aided design, CAD, and computer-aided manufacturing, CAM, i.e. micromachining [32, 37, 38]. Stereolithography allows the fabrication of solid, plastic, three-dimensional (3-D) prototypes or models of products and devices from CAD drawings in a matter of hours. Rapid prototyping by means of stereo-... 

Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM) can be defined as the effective utilization of computers in manufacturing (Groover 1987). 

Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM) can be defined as the use of computer systems to plan, manage, and control the operations of a manufacturing plant through either direct or indirect computer interface with the plant s production resources. In other words, the use of computer system in non-design activities but in manufacturing process is called CAM (Elanchezhian et al. 2007). 

Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM) Is used to support the development of manufacturing plans and process. 

Computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) refers to the production or alteration of control data for manufacturing. Often the term is used to specifically refer to computer numerically controlled (CNC) machine tooling. With regard to the plastics industry, CAM generally refers to the generation of CNC cutter paths for the production of molds and dies. More recently, plastics CAM has been extended by the availability of smart controllers for injection-molding machines. This is an important development and will be discussed in detail subsequently.
