1. INTRODUCTION
Computer aided design (CAD), also known as computer aided design and drafting
(CADD) is the use of computer technology for the process of design and design
documentation.
Computer Aided Drafting is a process of preparing a drawing of an object on the screen
of a computer. There are various types of drawings in different fields of engineering and
sciences. In the fields of mechanical or aeronautical engineering, the drawings of machine
components and the layouts of them are prepared. In the field of civil engineering, plans
and layouts of the buildings are prepared. In the field of electrical engineering, the layouts
of power distribution system are prepared. In all fields of engineering use of computer is
made for drawing and drafting.
The use of CAD process provides enhanced graphics capabilities which allows any designer to

• Conceptualize his ideas

• Modify the design very easily
• Perform animation
• Make design calculations
• Use colors, fonts and other aesthetic features.

1.1 REASONS FOR IMPLEMENTING A CAD SYSTEM

1. Increases the productivity of the designer: CAD improves the productivity of

the designer to visualize the product and its component, parts and reduces the time
required in synthesizing, analyzing and documenting the design
2. Improves the quality of the design: CAD system improves the quality of the
design. A CAD system permits a more detailed engineering analysis and a larger
number of design alternatives can be investigated. The design errors are also
reduced because of the greater accuracy provided by the system
3. Improves communication: It improves the communication in design. The use of
a CAD system provides better engineering drawings, more standardization in the
drawing, and better documentation of the design, few drawing errors and
legibility.
4. Create data base for manufacturing: In the process of creating the
documentation for these products, much of the required data base to manufacture
the products is also created.
5. Improves the efficiency of the design: It improves the efficiency of the design
process and the wastage at the design stage can be reduced.

1.2 APPLICATION OF CAD:

There are various processes which can be performed by use of computer in the drafting process.
3
1. Automated drafting: This involves the creation of hard copy engineering
drawings directly from CAD data base. Drafting also includes features like automatic
dimensioning, generation of cross – hatched areas, scaling of the drawing and the
capability to develop sectional views and enlarged views in detail. It has ability to perform
transformations of images and prepare 3D drawings like isometric views, perspective
views etc.,
2. Geometric modeling: concerned with the computer compatible mathematical
description of the geometry of an object. The mathematical description allows the image
of an object to be displayed and manipulated on a graphics terminal through signals from
the CPU of the CAD system. The software that provides geometric modeling capabilities
must be designed for efficient use both by computer and the human designer.

1.3 BENEFITS OF CAD:

The implementation of the CAD system provides variety of benefits to the industries in
design and production as given below:

1. Improved productivity in drafting

2. Shorter preparation time for drawing
3. Reduced man power requirement
4. Customer modifications in drawing are easier
5. More efficient operation in drafting
6. Low wastage in drafting
7. Minimized transcription errors in drawing
8. Improved accuracy of drawing
9. Assistance in preparation of documentation
10. Better designs can be evolved
11. Revisions are possible
12. Colours can be used to customize the product
13. Production of orthographic projections with dimensions and tolerances
14. Hatching of all sections with different filling patterns
15. Preparation of assembly or sub assembly drawings
16. Preparation of part list
17. Machining and tolerance symbols at the required surfaces
18. Hydraulic and pneumatic circuit diagrams with symbols
19. Printing can be done to any scale

1.4 LIMITATIONS OF CAD

1. 32 – bit word computer is necessary because of large amount of computer memory and
time
2. The size of the software package is large
4
 3. Skill and judgment are required to prepare the drawing
4. Huge investment

1.5 CAD TOOLS

Nowadays, computer aided design and drafting is used in engineering for design, drafting,
simulation, analysis, data management, etc. Geometric modelling, computer graphics,
automation, machine design etc. are performed using CAD tools. Because of the complex
applications, CAD requires both hardware and software. Hardware is a computer or workstation
and software which provides menu and modules to perform CAD/CAM activities. Most of the
graphic software packages permits drafting works starting from dimensioning, tolerancing, cross
hatching etc. some of the software also allow data management so that data can be transferred
to other system easily. CAD has gained much influences in the machine design and analysis
process. Design codes are based on the different international standards such as IS codes, ASME
codes for design of pressure vessels, etc. Such CAD tool provides the user full ranges of codes,
functions modules for selection of the best alternative.

CAD SOFTWARE

CAD software is a large complex program that perform different activities starting from
dimension computation, optimization and display. The CAD software are provided with
application program and graphic systems. CAD software range from 2D vector-based
drafting systems to 3D solid and surface modelling. CAD packages can also frequently allow
rotations in three dimensions, and viewing of a designed object from any desired angle, even
from the inside looking out. Software provides different modules which can be used for
different functions. These modules are classified as graphics module, application module,
programming module, communication module, etc.
Examples of CAD software
1. SolidWorks is an application used for the design, detailing and validation of products,
systems, machines and tools. All versions include modelling, assemblies, drawing,
Sheetmetal, weldment and freeform surfacing functionality.

5
 2. Inventor (Autodesk) The Autodesk inventor is for 3D mechanical design, product
simulation, tooling creation, and design communication.
3. Solid Edge (Siemens PLM Software) This is a commercial application of design,
drafting, analysis, and simulation of products, systems, machines, and tools. All versions
include modelling, assemblies, drawing, Sheetmetal, weldment and freeform surfacing
functionality.
4. TK Solver is a mathematical modelling and problem-solving software system based on a
declarative, rule-based language. TK Solver’s core technologies are a declarative
programming language, algebraic equation solver, an iterative equation solver, and a
structured, object-based interface. TK Solvers includes roughly 150 built-in functions:
mathematical trigonometric, Boolean, numerical calculus, database access, and
programming functions.

2.0 AutoCAD – BASICS

2.1 STARTING WITH ACAD

CAD uses four basic elements for preparation of any drawing:

1. Line 3. Text
2. Curves 4. Filling point.
Computer Aided Drafting is done by the operator by placing the mouse pointer by
placing the mouse pointer at the desired location and then executing the command to
draw the graphic elements using different methods.

Advanced computer aided drafting packages utilize four areas on the screen.

1. Drawing Area
2. Command Area
3. Menu Area
4. Tool boxes

2.2 LAYOUT AND SKETCHING

The package provides various facilities for layout, sketching and borders for
preparing a drawing. It provides facilities for display co-ordinates and measurement
units.

a. Units: The format for display co – ordinates and measurement can be selected
according to the requirement.
Several measurement styles are available in ACAD. The main methods are engineering and
architectural, having specific base unit assigned to them.
i. Decimal: select to enter and display measurements in decimal
notation
ii. Engineering: Display measurements in feet and decimal inches.
iii. Architectural: Display measurements in feet, inches and
fractional inches
iv. Fractional: Display measurements in mixed numbers notation v.
Scientific: Display measurements in scientific notation.

The precision that is specified controls the number of decimal places or fractional size to
which we want linear measurements displayed.

b. Angles: Select the format in which we want to enter and display angles.
i. Decimal Degrees: Display partial degrees as decimals
ii. Deg/Min/Sec: Display partial degrees as minutes and
seconds.
iii. Grades: Display Angles as
grades
7
 iv. Radians: Display angles as
radians.
v. Surveyor: Displays angles in surveyor units.
c. Angle measure: Select the direction of the zero angle for the entry of angles:
i. East: Select to specify the compass direction east as the zero
angle.
ii. . North: Select to specify the compass direction north as the
zero angle.
iii. West: Select to specify the compass direction west as the zero
angle.
iv. South: Select to specify the compass direction south as the
zero angle.
v. Other: Select to specify a direction different from the points of the compass as the
zero angle.
d. Area: Enter the approximate width and length which is planned to draw in full scale
units. This limits the area of the drawing covered by grid dots when the grid is turned on.
It also adjusts several default settings, such as text height, line type scaling and snap
distance to convenient values. It is possible to adjust these settings.
e. Title block: Select the description of an ACAD drawing file of a title block to insert
as a symbol in the new drawing. It can add or remove drawing files of title blocks from the
list with the Add or Remove buttons

f. Layout: Paper space is often used to create complex multiple view drawings. There
are three types of paper spaces:
1. Work on the drawing while viewing the layout.
2. Work on the drawing without the layout visible
3. Work on the layout of the drawing.

The following procedure is used for this purpose

1. From the File menu or from the standard tool bar, choose New
2. In the startup dialog box, choose Use a wizard, and select Advanced wizard
3. Choose OK
4. In the Advanced Setup Dialog box, select Title Block.
5. Select Title Block Description and Title Block file Name from the lists and then choose
Add.
6. In the Select Title Block File dialog box, select a title block, then choose open
7. In the Advanced Setup dialog box, a sample of that title is displayed.
8. Choose Done.

2.3 DRAWING ENVIRONMENT

8
 ACAD provides two drawing environments for creating and laying out the drawing.

i. Model Space

ii. Paper Space.

ACAD allows creating drawing, called a model, in full scale in an area known as
model space without regard to the final layout or size when the drawing is plotted on
the paper.

In the space opened for the first time, it is possible to create floating viewports
to contain different views of the model. In the paper space, floating viewports are
treated as objects which can be moved and resized in order to create a suitable layout.

LIMITS

This sets and controls the drawing boundaries.

At the command prompt, enter limits
ON/OFF/<LOWER LEFT CORNER> <current>: Specify a point, enter on or off,
or press
Enter.
LTSCALE

This sets the line type scale factor. Use LTSCALE to change the relative length of the
dash – dot line types per drawing unit

At the Command prompt, enter ltscale

New scale factor <current>: Enter a positive real value or press enter

Changing the line type scale factor causes the drawing to regenerate.

MEASURE

This places point objects or blocks at measured intervals on an object. At the command
Prompt, enter measure

Select object to measure: Use an object selection method <segment length> / Block:
Specify a distance.

PAN

This moves the drawing display in the current viewport. At the command prompt, enter

9. SCALING OF DRAWING: zoom command displays the object at a specified

scale factor. the value entered is relative to the limits of the drawing. for
example, entering 2 doubles the apparent display size of any objects from what
it would be if it were zoomed to the limits of the drawing

If you enter a value followed by xp, auto CAD specifies the scale relative to
paper scale units. for example, entering 0.5xp displays model space at half the
scale of paper space units. the following illustration shows a number of
viewports arranged in paper space. the view in each view port is scaled relative
to paper space. the first view is scaled 1=1 relative to paper space (1xp), the
second is scaled 0.5=1 relative to paper space (0.5xp), and so on.

 CAM

Computer-aided manufacturing

Computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) is the use of computer-based software tools

that assist engineers and machinists in manufacturing or prototyping product
components. Its primary purpose is to create a faster production process and
components with more precise dimensions and material consistency, which in some
cases, uses only the required amount of raw material (thus minimizing waste), while
simultaneously reducing energy consumption. CAM is a programming tool that makes
it possible to manufacture physical models using computer-aided design (CAD)
programs. CAM creates real life versions of components designed within a software
package

CNC Technology

Numerical Control (NC) is a software-based machine tool control technique

developed at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in early 1960s. It has
now evolved into a mature technology known as Computer Numerical Control
(CNC). Although major applications of CNC even today continue to be in
machining, it finds applications in other processes such as sheet metal working,
non-traditional machining and inspection. Robots and Rapid Prototyping machines
are also CNC controlled. In fact, any process that can be visualized as a sequence
of motions and switching functions can be controlled by CNC. These motions and
switching functions are input in the form of alphanumeric instructions. CNC is the
basis of flexible automation which helps industries cut down time-to-market and
enables launch of even low volume products. Unlimited muscle power, unmanned
operation, independent axes coordinated through software, simplified generic
tooling even for the most complex

jobs and accurate construction are some of the salient features of CNC.
43
CNC Machining

Automats and Special Purpose Machines (SPMs) require special cams/ templates and
clutch settings for each part. Manufacture of these cams/ templates is costly and slow.

Furthermore, changing over from one part to the other on these machines also
consumes considerable time. The high cost and longtime of these hard automated
machines to produce parts can be justified only in mass production. With the advent
of fast, rigid and accurate CNC machines and sophisticated CAM packages,
generation of NC programs and change over from one product to the other are easy
and fast as it does not require any mechanical change. These in conjunction with
advanced cutting tools have made High Speed Cutting (HSC) of hard materials a
reality. Therefore, CNC machining has become a standard means to produce dies
and molds; tool makers today require EDM only for producing inaccessible regions,
sharp corners, tiny features and desired surface quality. Intricate aerospace parts
are realized through 5 axis CNC machining. Internet technology in a global village
enables designing in one place, NC programming and verification in another place
and actual machining in yet another place.

G-codes
44
 G-Code, or preparatory code or function, are functions in the Numerical control
programming language. The G-codes are the codes that position the tool and do the
actual work, as opposed to M-codes, that manages the machine; T for tool-related
codes. S and F are tool-Speed and tool-Feed, and finally D-codes for tool
compensation. The programming language of Numerical Control (NC) is sometimes
informally called Gcode. But in actuality, G-codes are only a part of the NC-
programming language that controls NC and CNC machine tools.

CNC PROGRAMMING

· The coordinates are almost exclusively cartesian and the origin is on the workpiece.

· For a lathe, the infeed/radial axis is the x-axis, the carriage/length axis is the z-axis.
There is no need for a y-axis because the tool moves in a plane through the rotational
center of the work. Coordinates on the work piece shown below are relative to the work.

49
CNC lathe / CNC turning center

CNC lathes are rapidly replacing the older production lathes (multispindle, etc) due to
their ease of setting and operation. They are designed to use modern carbide tooling and
fully utilize modern processes. The part may be designed and the tool paths programmed
by the CAD/CAM process, and the resulting file uploaded to the machine, and once set
and trailed the machine will continue to turn out parts under the occasional supervision of
an operator.The machine is controlled electronically via a computer menu style interface;
the program may be modified and displayed at the machine, along with a simulated view
of the process. The setter/operator needs a high level of skill to perform the process,
however the knowledge base is broader compared to the older production machines where
intimate knowledge of each machine was considered essential. These machines are often
set and operated by the same person, where the operator will supervise a small number of
machines (cell).

MATERIAL REQUIRED: Aluminum Rod of 30 mm diameter and 80 mm length.

THEORY:

Circular interpolation is used to simplify the programming of arcs and circles. It

required of four bits of information those are.

• The direction of cutter travel (GOZ for cw and G03 is for CCW)
• Start point for arc (xs zs) for lathe and (xs, ys) for milling
• Center of arc (xl,zl) for lathe and (xl,yl) for milling machine
• The final point of the arc except for (xf,zf) for lathe and (xf,yf) for milling.
