The Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM) course provides a detailed exploration of computer applications in manufacturing processes, focusing on automation, precision, and efficiency. It introduces students to NC, CNC, and DNC systems, along with the fundamentals of CNC programming, part programming languages, and tool path generation. The course also covers computer-aided process planning (CAPP), group technology, flexible manufacturing systems (FMS), and robotics, emphasizing their role in modern production environments. Additionally, it delves into computer-integrated manufacturing (CIM) principles, material handling, and quality control systems to ensure students grasp the end-to-end manufacturing workflow. Special attention is given to additive manufacturing, rapid prototyping, and the integration of CAD/CAM systems, preparing students for advancements in smart manufacturing and Industry 4.0. Through case studies, software applications, and laboratory demonstrations, students gain practical exposure to CAM tools and techniques, enabling them to optimize manufacturing processes efficiently. By the end of this course, learners will develop proficiency in CAM software, automation strategies, and process optimization, equipping them with the skills required for industry applications and research in advanced manufacturing technologies.
