OBJECTIVES:
The course should enable the students to:
1. To make the students to know the concepts of CAD/CAM to generate a suitable geometric
model of an object.
2. To analyze the features on an object and develop process planning chart/ part program.
3. To use popular drafting packages to develop geometric models of parts and their assemblies.
4. To use computer aided quality control methods to detect manufacturing errors during
inspections.
