    Computer Aided Design (CAD) systems allow designers to create and modify product designs digitally. CAD provides benefits like viewing designs from different angles in 3D, making proportional changes easily, and storing existing design characteristics for reference and reuse. Some advanced CAD systems can automatically evaluate how design changes impact key specifications like strength, heat resistance, or aerodynamics, reducing development time and improving quality by enabling more design options to be evaluated quickly. Overall, CAD systems' benefits include reduced development time and costs as well as improved product quality.

    ERP A MANUFACTURING PERSPECTIVE

    Chapter-4

    COMPUTER AIDED DESIGN / COMPUTER


    AIDED MANUFACTURING (CAD / CAM)
    1. Computer Aided Design (CAD) is a popular tool for
    product design and is major focus area for
    manufacturing sector.
    2. CAD systems are computer programs or integrated
    packages for work station hardware and software that
    allow the user to draw and easily modify product
    designs on a computer screen.
    3. Eg-aerospace & automotive are largest user of
    CAD/CAM.
    Advanced CAD systems provide designers with at least
    three major benefits: -

    A. GRAPHICS CAPABILITIES:
    CAD systems allow the designer to view a
    product from different perspectives, including
    three-dimensional rotations, and various crosssections.
    The designer can also make proportional
    changes in scale, or change the angle of an arc
    with the click of a computer mouse rather than
    having to redraw the entire product.

    B. DESIGN, STORAGE & RETRIEVAL:


    1. Some CAD systems can store the design characteristics of
    existing products & components.
    2. Example, if a company needs a gear for a new product, the
    designer can enter relevant information about the gear,
    such as it diameter, tooth pattern and required hardness,
    into the CAD system .
    3. The CAD system determines whether the company is
    already using an identical or sufficiently similar gear, in
    which case a new one in unnecessary, if not, then use the
    design of this similar gear as a starting point for the new
    gear.
    4. This capability not only promotes the use of common
    components but also reduces design time.

    C. AUTOMATIC EVALUATION OF SPECIFICATIONS:


    1. One of the most time-consuming aspects of design for
    highly technical products is calculating whether or not product
    specifications, such as strength, heat resistance or
    aerodynamic drag, are satisfied.
    2. These calculations can be programmed into some CAD
    systems so that whenever the designer changes the design
    (by altering the shape or material to be used) these
    performance characteristics are recalculated automatically and
    compared to the product requirements.
    3. This is sometimes called Computer-Aided-Engineering
    (CAE)

    The overall benefits of CAD systems can be substantial. The


    features described above reduce the development time and
    cost, and they improve product quality because more
    design options can be evaluated in greater detail more quickly
