Cad And Cam

1. How do I import a jpeg image into a cad cam package?

Uhh ... no. The only way you could do that is to either : 1) Print and rescan image into the package. 2) Purchase very expensive software to recreate a .DWG of the drawing. Considering you're using ProCam and not AutoCAD or other better know software, I guess the software option isn't an option. Good Luck and happy recreation.

2. Where can i get Gateway MX6005m drivers for Win XP? Vista doest support CAD/CAM software good enough?

3. Best CAD CAM training institute after graduation in Pune?

Hi aditya u r on the right track by deciding to make a career in design.cad cam along with design tool such as pro-e and catia will be a enormous added advantage.most of the top companies prefer these.i dont know about pune but cad/cam training centre in delhi is one i know n is good.n one thing go on for courses of 4-6 months.all the best.

4. What is a good Cad/Cam program for personal projects?

I would suggest Autocad, It's used in Architecture, but it's an amazing app. it's expensive at around 5000$ us. But if you use it for personal use it will last you a lifetime, you won't need to upgrade it. I still use version 2000i, and it still works like a charm.

5. What are the differences between CAD and CAM?

In 2D CAD, the construction of the part can be in any order and does not to have all lines and intersections complete or exact or even drawn in the same direction. It is a picture and 2D CAD software doesn't automatically trim or demand perfect intersections. Higher forms of CAD that is true 3D model building software does generate perfect mathematical models. CAM however, is a graphical representation of a tool path. The CNC (computer numeric control ) that drives the machine with the code generated from the CAM software requires all line intersections and tangents to be mathematically perfect and in a continuous path. Most good CAM software is capable of making corrections to CAD files within defined limits. Cam software requires definitions like start points, speed, feed, depth of cut, tool geometries. The key component of CAM software is called the post processor. When the part is completely defined, the post reads the geometry and generates the code in a series of instructions beginning with where the part is in relation to it's work area, which tool to pick up( if it has an automatic tool changer) and where and how fast to move. I was a bit more technical than the wikiup blurb below, hope you found it an informative answer.

6. What are the disadvantages of CAD (Computer Aided Design) and CAM (Computer Aided Manufacture) ?

Disadvantages: -expensive to set up -training needed on how to use soft/hardware

7. what are the Impact of CAD and CAM on car industry?

Computer Aided Drafting and Computer Aided Manufacturing has helped speed the design process in the auto industry. Before computers were used I think the time from concept to production was averaging 5 years, and now it's possible to turn out a new model in a few months. I believe the current industry average is about 24 months. Since the design process is streamlined with the use of CAD, a car company can respond to market needs more quickly and efficiently, and also create cars that are more complex with greater accuracy than before. It's recently even become possible for small-volume models to simulate the National Transportation and Safety Administration vehicle crashes for safety testing in CAD, rather than use actual cars, which saves both time and money. If you look at the automotive landscape you will notice that most cars designed 10+ years ago were designed (mostly without CAD) to be viewed from either the front or sides, where with modern cars designed in CAD a vehicle can be modeled in 3/4 view to create exteriors that wrap around a car's corners. Case-in-points would be: Chrysler Crossfire, most all new BMW models, but especially evident in the new 3-series, as well as the upcoming crop of Mercedes products. Ford is leading the industry with cars that have been designed in CAD down to the smallest component with central files available to suppliers so that refinements can be made much closer to production than before, which, for the consumer, means better cars arriving in the marketplace faster and at more competitive prices.

8. how to start a cad cam outsourcing service providing company?

Approach some Engg company like Avineon India in Hyderabad and show your credentials and then ask for some business.

9. What is the minimum required configuration for CAD/CAM?

People have been using CAD/CAM software for a very long time, I doubt it is possible to buy a laptop that isn't powerful enough to run some CAD/CAM software. Your requirements are going to be based on the specific CAD/CAM software you want to run.

11. is work can be done on laser soldering of diamonds using cad cam?

Hi Yes we can...

12. Best CAD CAM training institute in Pune with industry focus and placement?

13. What is CAD/CAM course. What is the benefit of doing this course? My boss has suggested me to do this from CAD

CAD/CAM is Computer Aided Drafting. It's basically mechanical drafting done on computer rather than on a drawing board. If you are pursuing a career in architecture, engineering, drafting, or even some graphic arts careers, it would be a must for you to take courses in CAD. Check out your local technical schools - most will provide courses (even night courses) in CAD. There are many different CAD software packages out there, but AUTOCAD seems to be the most used in commercial world. After taking some basic CAD courses, if you decide to pursue a career in design/drafting, or engineering you should also become proficient in 3D Modeling CAD.

14. What CAD CAM system does jaguar use to make its cars?

Struggling to find the answer to this one - try emailing them; http://www.jaguar.co.uk/uk/en/company/faq_contact_us/contact_us.htm?sReferrer=I_JAGUARGSR_REDIRECT_2004

15. Is it safe to download Microsoft office XP pro from limewire? What about a CAD CAM Package?

you're more likely to get yourself lots of lovely viruses than a working version of microsoft office. but it's the risk you take when you download *any* programs with limewire so it's up to you. *.zip files are archives, they can be opened and extracted to your pc with a free version of winzip from: http://www.winzip.com

16. How is the feature for CAD/CAM Industry?

17. What is CAD/CAM's effect on worldwide economy?

Depends on the software used but much of the software allows for quicker more accurate designs autodetections of some common design errors better estimates of cost of material more efficent use of materials, more efficent production methods more precise with less variation of parts

18. Use of CAD and CAM to manufacture a DVD?

In CAD and CAM programs creates schemes and drawing. For example any DVD has a chassis, boards, screws plates, and other components. For understanding how to put all them together need a assemble draw. For understanding principles of working electronics scheme need a electric scheme. This one creates with special CAD CAM program.

19. Where can i get CAD/CAM Projects?

No one except your close friends,would tell you because they think you might be a competitor. So consult some known resources in and around ur area. I wonder how could you start a firm without knowing all these?

20. Is it hard to learn a CAD/CAM program?
