PART-A DEBATE 1.0 Introduction

In present days industries calculate time is equal to money to compitate in business it is required to produce good quality products in the less cost this will be achieved by increased productivity CNC technology is been used widely in industries to increase productivity such as metal cutting machines- Milling, Turning, etc metal forming machines like bending forming machines metal molding machines like injection molding etc inspection CMM,LMM and so on the programming for this machines is done using CAD/CAM software. The development of NC come across the following stages. 1) Stage1-NC machines programming is done by punch tape and fed into tape reader

Fig1.1 NC programme generated on punch tape[1]

2) Stage 2- CNC in this a small computer is fixed in machine itself by which the parameter changes can be edited in the computer present in machine. 3) Stage 3- DNC programme is generated in mainframe computer and distributed to many number of CNC machines

1.1Advantages of using CAD/CAM for CNC programming

1.1.1 Chances of error
In present days number of axis is been increased to make the machine more versatile for 5 axes machining centre the movement will be represented in CNC programme by ADDRESS CODES- X,Y,Z,A,C as x-longitudinal movement of table in X axis, Y-lateral movement of table in Y axis, Z-spindle movement towards and away from work piece in Z axis, A- Rotation of Table in X axis, C-Rotation of Spindle head along Z axis in manual programming it is difficult for the programmer to consider all these axes in the machines and programme the tool path but it is possible in CAD/CAM based programming

<Computer aided engineering>

M.S Ramaiah School of Advanced Studies Postgraduate Engineering and Management Programme (PEMP)

1.1.2 Setup time

Setup time will be reduced in CAD/CAM based programming since the software itself provides Tool list, power graph etc which can also be used for documentation purpose where as in manual programming has to remember all the specification of various types of tools used for various operation

1.1.3 Modification of programme

When there is modification of profile modification of programme is very easy in CAD/CAM based programming that is by once again by editing the profile created for programme generation NC programme can be created for new profile but in case of manual programming identifying the block which has to be edited will take more time

1.1.4 Error detection

The process of simulation is available in CAD/CAM based programming through which the cutting tool movement while machining and the profile which we get after machining can be viewed so error in the programme is easily identified.

1.1.5 Effective use of machine and cutting tool

In case of CAD/CAM based programming the cutting tool and machine will be effectively used were the standard machining process is followed like wile giving depth of cut milling cutter will not be directly plunged on the work piece instead an entry helix is provided automatically through which cutter will move in angular path so load on cutter will be less which increases tool life where as in manual programming these parameters are not considered

1.2 Case study supporting CAD/CAM based programming

In modern days industries manufacture very complicated profiles in their products to create such complicated profiles complicated machines are required one of such development is 5-axes machining centre the common axes present in this are shown below

Fig 1.2 [2]

Fig 1.3[2]

Fig 1.2 &Fig 1.3 showing axes present in 5 axes CNC machine

<Computer aided engineering>

M.S Ramaiah School of Advanced Studies Postgraduate Engineering and Management Programme (PEMP)

With the application of 5-axes machining centre very complicated profiles can be machined, while machining the axes movement can be individually or combination of all the axes any small error occurred in programming will be resulting in accidents which leads to spoilage of machine and work piece so only CAD/CAM based programming is suitable for this type of machine even if manual programming will not be effectively using the axes of the machine.

Fig1.4 Forging die of bevel gear[2 ] Fig1.5 Showing tool path while machining[2 ]
In Fig 1.4 profile of a complicated forging die of bevel gear which is been machined using CNC machines for machining such complicated profiles CAD/CAM based programming is the suitable method. In Fig 1.5 showing the tool path generated by CAD/CAM Software which will be the effective method for machining such profiles in reduced cycle time of machining with increased tool life and without any strain hardening generation in work piece but in manual programming identifying such tool path will be difficult. The other advantage in CAM based programming is creating programme for core and cavity is very easy using either any one of part say with core profile immediately the programme for cavity profile can be created it also suits for punch and die but in case of manual programming co-ordinates has to be find out separately and programming has to be done individually

1.3 Conclusion
By 2020 there will be the tremendous development in field of CNC machineries with various axes which is also required because most of the products gets modified day to day and also to satisfy the customer product is to be manufactured in very short lead time and also manual programming has only limited application. Instead of skill full programmers industries will choose CAD/CAM software

PART-C Geometric modeling of Water scooter

3.0 Surface modeling

Surface modeling is the methods for creating the surface on wireframe geometry The thickness of surface created using this modeling method is negligible. The complicated profiles which cannot be defined by the primitive shapes like spheres, cylinders, cubes, blocks etc has to be created by surface modeling example the complex shape of automobiles, aircraft, ship structures etc, In CATIA we can create the surface models and rendering is done to visualize the product using Real time rendering. Material property is given to these models. Also we can use these models to manufacture the product. The main application surface modeling is also in Reverse engineering where cloud points are generated using laser scanning technique NURBS are fitted to cloud points then surface is generated and finally NC programme is generated.

3.1 Surface modeling procedure of water scooter

Initially the wire frame model provided in IGES format is loaded into generative shapes design work bench Since the one half of the water scooter is symmetrical to other half the half portion of the image is hided Some discontinuous and extra lines are to be detected and deleted Using the operations like SWEEP, MULTI SECTION, FILL, BLEND etc the surface is created on the wireframe model of the water scooter Once the half portion is finished the remaining portion is created by mirroring Material property is applied to water scooter Real time rendering is done
