    CAD/CAM SELECTION FOR SMALL MANUFACTURING COMPANIES By Tim Mercer A Research Paper Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Master of Science Degree in Management Technology Approved for Completion of 3 Semester Credits INMGT 735 Research Advisor The Graduate College University of Wisconsin May 2000 The Graduate School University of Wisconsin - Stout Menomonie, WI 54751 Abstract Mercer Timothy B. CAD/CAM Selection for Small Manufacturing Companies Master of Science in Management Technology Linards Stradins 2/2000 71 pages Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association In today's fast paced world, CAD/CAM systems have become an essential element in manufacturing companies throughout the world. Technology and communication are changing rapidly, driving business methods for organizations and requiring capitalization in order to maintain competitiveness. Knowledge prior to investing into a system is crucial in order to maximize the benefits received from changing CAD/CAM systems. The purpose of this study is to create a methodology to aid small manufacturing companies in selecting a CAD/CAM system. The objectives are to collect data on CAD/CAM systems that are available in the market today, identify important criteria in system selection, and identify company evaluation parameters. Acknowledgements Thanks to Dr. Rich Rothaupt for introducing me to CAM, survey help, and providing guidance with CAD/CAM applications. Thanks to Dr. Martha Wilson for early revisions, survey help and overall guidance. Thanks to my good friend and soon to be Dr. Linards Stradins for his patience, leadership, and wisdom. His invaluable knowledge and dedication as my advisor has helped me both personally and academically.

As a founding member of the OpenDWG Alliance, DATACAD LLC will work with other CAD vendors to jointly share and disseminate knowledge about the DWG file format, a move that will ultimately deliver better data compatibility to DataCAD's 200,000+ users worldwide. As part of its membership, DATACAD LLC will have access to and will participate in the continued development of the OpenDWG Toolkit. This Toolkit was formerly sold by Marcomp, Inc. as the AUTODIRECT product, and its DWG libraries are considered to be the most thorough and accurate third-party reconstruction of the file format available. Visio Corporation recently purchased Marcomp and is making the toolkit available to the CAD community through the OpenDWG Alliance. DataCAD is one of the most popular CAD programs developed for the architecture, engineering, and construction (A/E/C) industries.

St.John's, Nfld., Canada December 1990 TECHNICAL REPORT An OECD/NEA International project managed by: SWEDISH NUCLEAR FUEL AND WASTE MANAGEMENT CO Division of Research and Development Mailing address: Box 5864, S-102 48 Stockholm. Telephone: 08-665 28 00 APPLICATION OF COMPUTER AIDED DESIGN (CADD) IN DATA DISPLAY AND INTEGRATION OF NUMERICAL AND FIELD RESULTS - STRIPA - PHASE III D. E. Press S. M. Halliday J.E. Gale Fracflow Consultants Inc. St. John's, Nfld., Canada December 1990 This report concerns a study which was conducted for the Stripa Project. The conclusions and viewpoints presented in the report are those of the authors and do not necessarily coincide with those of the client. A list of other reports published in this series is attached at the end of the report. Information on previous reports are available through SKB. 11 Abstract Existing CAD/CADD systems have been reviewed and the micro-computer compatible solids modelling CADD software SilverScreen was selected for use in constructing a CADD model of the Stripa site. Maps of the Stripa mine drifts, shafts, raises and stopes were digitized and used to create three- dimensional images of the north-eastern part of the mine and the SCV site. In addition, the use of CADD sub-programs to display variation in fracture geometry and hydraulic heads have been demonstrated. The database developed in this study is available as either raw digitized files, processed data files, SilverScreen script files or in DXF or IGES formats; all of which are described in this report.

  • 21 Miscellaneous Companies
    Chapter 21 Miscellaneous Companies Space restrictions simply do not permit me to go into the depth of detail I would like on every company that participated in the early days of the CAD industry nor cover numerous in-house systems developed at major automobile and aerospace companies. Readers will have to be satisfied with the brief descriptions included in this chapter and even then, I have only been able to cover what I consider to be the companies that had the biggest impact. There are hundreds if not thousands of companies that at one time marketed engineering design software. Some of the companies described in this chapter offered just software while other provided both hardware and software. While many have changed names, I have decided to list them alphabetically based upon the name they are best been known by along with earlier and subsequent name changes. Adra Systems (Matrix One) Adra Systems was founded in Lowell, Massachusetts in July 1983 by William Mason, who had been at Applicon from 1973 to 1983, most recently as vice president of operations, James Stenzel, who had been vice president of engineering at Hastech, Inc., and Peter Stoupas, who had earlier been a regional sales manager at Adage and had also worked for Applicon. Mason became the president and CEO, Stenzel the vice president of product development and Stoupas the vice president of marketing. Between 1983 and 1986, the company raised $11.6 million of venture funding from a number of firms including American Research & Development, the company that also provided the initial funding for Digital Equipment Corporation.

    Dr. Aylin Gurkok - Florida International University - College of Engineering - Department of Mechanical and Materials Engineering - Miami 1. Introduction to Computer Aided Drawing What is CADD ? Computer-aided drawing is a technique where engineering drawings are produced with the assistance of a computer and, as with manual drawing, is only the graphical means of representing a design. Computer-aided design, however, is a technique where the attributes of the computer and those of the designer are blended together into a problem-solving team. Dr. Aylin Gurkok - Florida International University - College of Engineering - Department of Mechanical and Materials Engineering - Miami 1. Introduction to Computer Aided Drawing Two-dimensional (2D) computer drawing is the representation of an object in the single-view format which shows two of the three object dimensions or the mutiview format where each view reveals two dimensions.

The value that manufacturers the engineer. offer their customers is continually threatened by competitors who are racing to deliver higher-quality Over the past three decades, computer-aided design products with more features at lower prices. In an (CAD) technology virtually eliminated traditional effort to better respond to market pressures, manual drafting tools and has helped manufacturers manufacturers are realigning their computer-aided realize manifold increases in productivity for design technology to better achieve their business creating engineering drawings.

Mechanical Engineering magazine indicates that 96% of mechanical engineering professionals Why this strong move from 2D to currently use a CAD system. 3D design? This paper examines the limitations of 2D design Despite the advent of affordable processes and outlines the A 1999 study of CAD/CAM and easy-to-use 3D solid modeling engineering productivity and technology, a majority of business advantages of product practices by the Dataquest manufacturing firms still base development using 3D solid industry research firm their design processes on 2D CAD modeling technologies.
