3 unusual facts about Integrated Computer-Aided Manufacturing


IDEF3

It was the intent of the methodology program within ICAM to rectify this situation but limitation of funding did not allow this to happen.

However, since the Integrated Computer-Aided Manufacturing (ICAM) Program needed a simulation modeling tool, the resulting IDEF2 was a method for representing the time varying behavior of resources in a manufacturing system, providing a framework for specification of math model based simulations.

Integrated Computer-Aided Manufacturing

had assisted Wisnosky and Shunk in designing the ICAM program and had broadened the concept of CIM to include the entire manufacturing company.


Changhe Z-11

Under Mr. Wu, Z-11 became the first Chinese helicopter to be completely designed by CAD/CAM.

Diamond turning

Typically, the part to be created is first described using a CAD model, then converted to G-code using a CAM program, and the G-code is then executed by the machine control computer to move the cutting tool.

IDEF

IDEF originally stood for ICAM Definition, initiated in the 1970s at the US Air Force Materials Laboratory, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio by Dennis E. Wisnosky, Dan L. Shunk and others.

Non-uniform rational B-spline

NURBS are commonly used in computer-aided design (CAD), manufacturing (CAM), and engineering (CAE) and are part of numerous industry wide standards, such as IGES, STEP, ACIS, and PHIGS.
