  • CAD/CAM Selection for Small Manufacturing Companies
    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.

    PROJECT m-04 Application of Computer Aided Design (CADD) in Data Display and Integration of Numerical and Field Results — Stripa Phase 3 DE. Press SM. Halliday J.E. Gale Fracflow Consultants Inc. 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.

  • Heartwood Smartscopesm Asset Collection Guidelines
    Heartwood SmartScopeSM Asset Collection Guidelines Congratulations! You are joining the ranks of some visionary organizations by deploying 3D Interactive Training – the true gold standard in learning. Our successful SmartScopeSM guidelines enable our customers to collect the data critical for the estimating and development process. Guidelines • Guideline 1 – Assets for Scope Estimation of Training Course. a. Video or images of equipment b. A description of the procedure in the lesson/course. If estimating multiple lessons/courses, send 3-4 packages of assets for the average lesson/course. Choose one or more of the following: 1. Current course materials used in classroom 2. Video of procedure performed on the equipment 3. Technical manual (indicate which pages are relevant) 4. Storyboard of course/lesson or procedure • Guideline 2 – Assets for Development of Training Course. Typically these are more detailed; we can provide best practices on how to assemble the assets. a. Required: i. Video and/or images of equipment ii. Current course materials used in classroom iii. Technical manual (indicate which pages are relevant) b. Desired: i. 3D models or 2D drawings of equipment, see page 2 for a list of compatible formats ii. Video of procedure performed on the equipment iii. Storyboard of course/lesson or procedure This is not an exhaustive list for all training courses. A very unique training course may require more data and some additional assets may be ‘required or desired’ to save time and cost. Ask us about our SmartStartSM service to make the asset collection process easier for you.
