Introduction to CAD/CAMusing MasterCAM Team member Wanghao Fanyong Xuying Shidabin Liuzhenping Agenda Introduction to CAD/CAM Introduction to MASTERCAM 2D CAD using MASTERCAM Tool Path Planning in MASTERCAM Tool Path Optimization Readings Objectives To understand the need for CAD/CAM in Lean Manufacturing.（精良生产） To be able to create 2D Geometries in MASTERCAM To be able to create 2D toolpaths in MASTERCAM To use MASTERCAM for identifying optimum toolpaths To generate NC codes using MASTERCAM CAD/CAM Computer-aided design (CAD) is the use of computer systems to assist in the creation, modification, analysis, or optimization of a design. Computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) is the use of computer systems to plan, manage, and control the operations of a manufacturing plant （加工中心）through direct or indirect computer interface with plant’s resources. Need for CAD/CAM How do CAD/CAM systems work? Instructions can be generated for a generic NC machine The Design Process : Then and Now CAD/CAM and the new Environment Exercise (3-5 mins) Discuss how CAD/CAM helps in Lean Manufacturing? Elaborate on any one aspect. What advantages does CAD/CAM approach offer in NC Programming? CAD/CAM Support AutoCAD 200i Pro Engineer 2001 MasterCAM What do I need to begin MasterCAM? Part geometry Draw or import Tooling Library or create Process plans Fixtures Define orientation and location MasterCAM Mastercam is a three-dimensional geometry creation engine along with features to aid in tool path generation and verification. MasterCAM allows tool path planning and NC code generation for a given part. This part can either be drawn in MasterCAM or imported from other CAD packages  MasterCAM Drawing Geometrical part drawing In-built CAD package Two-dimensional parts Three-dimensional parts Translators (include) IGES (international Graphics Exchange Standard) DXF (AutoCad) CADL (CADKey) Tool Path Generation using MasterCAM Tool path gener
