Lecture_11_CNC_automation

Summarise and discuss the general strategies to select CAD/CAM software and tools for Computer Aided Process Planning (CAPP) and optimisation of design and manufacturing operations, especially to generate optimal CNC machining toolpaths, simulate the generated CNC machining toolpaths, create G-Code programs for CNC machining operations, simulate and optimise the Additive Manufacturing & 3D Printing (AM-3DP) processes (Topology optimisation, Simulations of support generation, Simulations of deformation and shrinkages, Simulations of Nesting operation, Optimisations of part orientations).

In the discipline of mechanical engineering, what do you know about Pro/Engineer software? What are the names of three CAD programs?

The title of our study is "Design and Fabrication of an Agricultural Spraying Attachment for an Autonomous Rover" we need help in the machine design part of our study, specifically Pump selection, battery selection, and center of gravity computation Rover weight capacity 35 kilo grams (payload) Rover measurements: Wheel distance - 14.5 inches and 8.5 inches Rover platform size (width & length) 14.4 inches x 10.4 inches Height- 15.8 inches

Summarise and discuss the differences between CNC programs (G-code programs) for CNC machining and Additive Manufacturing & 3D Printing (AM-3DP), especially the AM-3DP systems such as Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) and Binder-Jetting (BJ).

The field of robotics is plagued with a variety of deficiencies.

Four machines used to produce a family of parts are to be arranged into a GT cell.The from-to data for the parts processed by the machines are shown in the table below.(a) Determine the most logical sequence of machines for this data. (b) Construct the network diagram for the data, showing where and how many parts enter and exit the system.(c) Compute the percentages of in-sequence moves, bypassing moves, and backtrackingmoves in the solution. (d) Develop a feasible layout plan for the cell

(a) Summarise the applications of Additive Manufacturing & 3D Printing (AM3DP) and discuss the impacts of AM-3DP on the modern CAM systems, especially in the aspects of Rapid Manufacturing and Smart Manufacturing. (c) Summarise the methods and tools which are used for Design for Additive Manufacturing (DfAM).
