This paper assignment is written to produce logical discussion on the future speculations of the future of CAD/CAM technology. In the first parts of the report we have tried to define brief history and the present scenario of the technology. Later parts focus on the speculations of the future which is the core of the assignments. We also tried to bring out some discussions based on our own understanding regarding the future of this technology.
INTRODUCTION
In today’s fierce global market, competition is to the highest degree than ever before and is seen to increase day by day. Manufacturing in any market like automotive, aerospace, shipbuilding or general consumer products is bound to beat this competition in order to sustain a profitable business. Almost every manufacturing industry faces global competition due to emerging countries which are developing better manufacturing capabilities rapidly and also due to reduction of global trade barriers. Increased competition is also resulting in shorter product life cycles and great advancement in technology which makes products obsolete far more quickly than before. Hence manufacturers are forced to be fast in developing new products and bringing them to the market in the shortest possible time. Thus the competitiveness and flexibility of any manufacturing company depends majorly on reducing design and engineering times. This is proved to be one of the challenging difficulties encountered by today’s manufacturing companies.
Fortunately computers have come to the rescue of these manufacturing companies. Since the invention of computers, more precisely after the invention of main-frame computers various technologies have been developed and are still being developed to help...
