SUBJECT: CAD-CAM [MME 3103]
REVISED CREDIT SYSTEM
Time: 3 Hours MAX. MARKS: 50
Instructions to Candidates:
 Answer ALL the questions.
 Missing data may be suitably assumed.
 Draw the sketches using PENCIL only

1A. A mechanical component is designed by making use of a synthetic curve


(defined by 4 control points) whose start and end points are coincident. The
start point has the position vector [2 3 0]T. The other control points are [4 6 0]T
and [8 12 0]T respectively. Find the equation of the resultant Bezier curve.
Compute the coordinates on the curve at its mid-point. 4M
1B. With a neat sketch, explain how a CAD image is generated on the display
terminal using Direct View Storage Technique (DVST). 3M
1C. Sketch the work volume defined by any three types of industrial robots. 3M
2A. A synthetic curve parameterized in u has the position vectors at its start and
end points as and respectively. The
tangent vectors to the curve at these points are given as and
respectively. A surface is extruded from this curve along a
vector starting at and ending at , where
and are the unit vectors along the x, y and z axes. Parameter v is
considered along the direction of extrusion.
i. Compute the position vector of a point on the synthetic curve at 65% of its
length.
ii. Compute the position vector of a point on the extruded surface at 40%
length of extrusion corresponding to the point on the curve computed in (i). 4M
2B. Derive the parametric equation for a 3D surface which is to be linearly swept
between two space curves P(u) and Q(u). Take the parameter v along the
direction of sweep. 3M
2C. List different types of FMS layout. With neat sketches explain any two. 3M
3A. A parallelogram is defined by the points (4, 8), (8, 15), (8, 8) and (12, 15).
Reflect the parallelogram about the line Y= (0.3639*X) + 2 and compute the
coordinates of the transformed parallelogram. 5M
3B. Derive an expression for the position vector and tangent vector of a hermite
cubic spline curve from fundamentals. 5M

4A. With an example, explain Adaptive Control Optimization and Adaptive Control
Constraints. 4M
4B. Two ellipses are shown in Figure 1. Two points P and Q are corresponding to
the parameter u = 600 with respect to the X-axis. Using Recursive equation of
the ellipse find the distance (d) between P and Q.

sketches. 3M
5C Write a CNC part program to perform the mirroring operation on the
