CAD/ CAM

Computer-aided design (CAD) involves creating computer models defined by geometrical parameters. These models typically appear on a computer monitor as a three-dimensional representation of a part or a system of parts, which can be readily altered by changing relevant parameters. CAD systems enable designers to view objects under a wide variety of representations and to test these objects by simulating real-world conditions.

All our storerooms have strengthened door constructions and can be equipped with a mesh ceiling for ceiling heights exceeding 3.2 metres.The current burglary prevention norms demand a maximum of 10-15 cm between the storeroom wall and ceiling. Our upper sections enable us to tailor the storeroom walls to the space available, thus fulfilling the building norms. We can deliver for most ceiling heights.

THE ORIGINS OF CAD/CAM
CAD had its origins in three separate sources, which also serve to highlight the basic operations that CAD systems provide. The first source of CAD resulted from attempts to automate the drafting process.

The development of CAD and CAM and particularly the linkage between the two overcame traditional NC shortcomings in expense, ease of use, and speed by enabling the design and manufacture of a part to be undertaken using the same system of encoding geometrical data.

ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES
Modeling with CAD systems offers a number of advantages over traditional drafting methods that use rulers, squares, and compasses. For example, designs can be altered without erasing and redrawing.

THE CASE FOR CAS AND CAS/CAM
A conceptually and functionally parallel development to CAD/CAM is CAS or CASE, computer-aided software engineering.
