TECHNICAL REPORT 3 THE MULTI-MONITOR REVOLUTION AMD Eyefinity enables three or more displays to be run off a single graphics card. Here are some typical design workflows supported by Dell Precision workstations with AMD FirePro. For CAD (design viz) During the conceptual design phase product designers typically use a number of different applications, from dedicated sketching tools to 3D rendering software. Having all these applications at your fingertips can streamline the process as data moves between them. 1. Conceptual design of a water bottle 2. Building up a solid model of the 3. Rendering and material using Autodesk Alias Sketch water bottle inside SolidWorks tweaking inside PhotoView 360 For CAM (machining) CAM operators typically have a number of tasks running in parallel. VISI Machining, like many other CAM applications, allows the toolpath calculation to run on separate processors, therefore freeing the operator to set up and calculate further toolpaths without a performance penalty. 1.

  • 2.5D Drilling and Milling. Fast, Safe and Highly Automated
    2.5D DRILLING AND MILLING with withfeature Feature design Design 2.5D DRILLING AND MILLING. FAST, SAFE AND HIGHLY AUTOMATED. Import data, identify features, calculate toolpaths automatically – Tebis CAD/CAM software automates 2.5D machining in die and mold manufacturing, in industrial manufacturing and in other industries. By representing all machining tasks in parametrized Feature 2.5D Drilling Design and Milling features, it enables a high level of automation. And linkage to Tebis AutoMill® NC templates delivers advantages along the entire process chain, from design and NC programming to machine manufacturing. The benefits of the Tebis solution start right from the design stage, because Tebis copies features from a variety of other CAD systems and evaluates imported CAD geometries. Tebis efficiently identifies all manufacturing objects, thus reducing the amount of drawing work needed. And when it comes to NC programming, information flows automatically from the manufacturing objects into the NC programs. Tested machining processes are saved in NC templates and are then made available to all users. With just a few clicks of the mouse, you can produce optimized NC programs containing collision- checked tool assemblies, even for complex parts. You‘ll also save time in production, where your ratio of productive time to non-productive time will steadily improve because your NC controls are no longer used for programming. Errors caused by manually copying data from a drawing into the machine control are completely eliminated thanks to a digital process chain. And even with this high level of automation, users can intervene at any point to optimize the design of their processes.

  • Chapter 1. Industrial Users Perspectives
    Chapter 1. Industrial Users Perspectives Cutting MoldslDies from Scan data Rao S. Vadlamudi Venture Engineering, Research & Development, 1027 E. 14 Mile Rd., Troy, MI-48083 Keywords Optical scanners, duplicating dies/molds, cam software, scan data, stl files Abstract This paper discuss the state ofthe art technology in duplicating an existing mold or die using digitized data from Optical scanners, instead of using traditional "copy milling". Both the technical results and experience from the process to achieve these results are expressed. The main process is discussed highlighting the benefits of using new technology versus copy milling or from surface. The main process consists of : 1) Scanning: An existing mold or die is scanned using Optical scanners. The software and hardware used to scan the die/mold are described in detail with the advantages of using Optical scanners versus laser scanners. 2) Data preparation: Once the die/mold is scanned, the data is pre-processed to read to any CAD/CAM systems. An STL (Steriolithography format) file is created for cutterpath generation and section lines are created, in case if surface development is required, for other applications. 3) Creating toolpaths using CAM software : Major issues in cutting the scan data are discussed. 4) Cutting p-20 steel on CNC mlc 5) Quality Check: Checking the die/mold with the following procedures a) CMM machine, b) Using the same scanner. In this process, we compare the dimensional accuracy of duplicated die/mold with original die/mold using Optical scanners and CMM machines. We cut one die for Chrysler Corporation using the above process and the results are very impressive.

    International Journal of Engineering & Technology, 7 (2.8) (2018) 702-705 International Journal of Engineering & Technology Website: www.sciencepubco.com/index.php/IJET Research Paper Overview Role of Simulation Package in Virtual Manufacturing and for CNC Machinery R. Mahesh 1, J. Ganesh Murali 2, R. Arulmurugan 3 1,3 Assistant Professor ,2Professor Department of Mechanical Engineering, Karpagam College of Engineering, Coimbatore-641032. Abstract Computer Numerical Control Machines (CNC) totally changed the scenario in manufacturing industries in terms of production volume, easy flexibility and with fewer deviations. As customers expect high grade of accuracy, precision, reliable and prompt supply it became essential in the manufacturing sector to reduce the time for developing and proving out new products. Normally programming and proving out the same plays a significant role in the product development cycle. Nowadays several software packages are there to stimulate the tool path, sequence of operations and validation of the program to ensure flawless performance. These packages do serve additional role of optimizing the program sequence and reduce the cycle time involved to manufacture the parts concerned. Keywords: CNC Machines, Manufacturing, Product Development, Simulation Softwares. 1. Introduction Ever increasing customer requirements and shorter development cycles demands an improved and highly result oriented system that would take care of error proofing in the part of program. The desired property for such a protocol is to be of zero tolerant and highly effective as well as efficient one. It became very vital to analyze the manufacturing process parameters before hand while going for huge investments. As a collaborative approach in product design and development cloud based tools offer significant role in the form of cloud based machining simulation systems for verification and optimization of CNC programs(1).
