Computer-aided manufacturing system

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.

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).
