Features: Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM) refers to the use of computers to assist in completing the entire manufacturing process from raw materials to finished products, including both direct and indirect manufacturing processes. The scope discussed in this book mainly covers: the supporting environment of computer-aided manufacturing, computer-aided assembly technology, part information description, computer-aided process planning, computer-aided CNC machining, computer-aided tooling design, and computer-aided quality control. The book also provides a systematic review of the content and development of current advanced manufacturing technologies. From the perspective of manufacturing systems, it discusses the stages of development for Flexible Manufacturing Systems (FMS), Integrated Manufacturing Systems (including concurrent engineering), and Intelligent Manufacturing Systems. This book can serve as a textbook or reference for undergraduate and graduate students in mechanical engineering at universities and colleges, as well as for engineering technicians engaged in mechanical manufacturing.
