Design Process (CAD/CAM)

DESIGN Process:
Recognization of need:
The importance of the step is to find out problems either in existing machine or for development of new machine.
Here, the problem (or) an activity which requires much human effort is input to development of a new design.

Definition of problem:
Here the problem is represented as engineering drawing which contains clear idea about the product and its specifications. The problem is represented as 2D 3D diagrams and some simulating diagrams can be formed.

Synthesis:
Synthesis and Optimisation steps are more similar where optimal solution is developed by using engineering analysis such as mass property calculations and finite element method.
Here the product is visualised under various boundary conditions. Once this step is completed, it is followed by evaluation process where product is seen from various views to make sure there are no problems.

Presentation:
Here the design is taken in the the form of hard copy such as 2D and 3D diagrams in different views.
