Digital Design and Manufacturing Technology II

The rapid growth in digital design and manufacturing processes brings with it some work-flow challenges. While the various existing products provide an ideal solution to most of the steps in the process, more dedicated and integrated systems are sometimes required; raising the question of how best to handle the incoming data and orders, automate the design and possibly the engineering, make robust plans, manage the process and data and deliver quality goods. This collection of peer-reviewed papers on digital design and manufacturing technology explains the ins-and-outs of CAD/CAM technologies and how these tools can be used to model and manufacture building components and industrial design products. It offers a comprehensive overview of the field and expertly addresses a broad range of recent initiatives and other issues related to the design of parts for manufacturing and assembly; including the broad range of software, computerized numerical control machines, programming, manufacturing processes and prototyping required.
