As manufacturing continues to go for more sophistication, parts are getting smaller and more complex. Modern design also incorporates fancy, curvy shapes into their products. Conventional machining processes can no longer be used to achieve the kind of precision and fanciness that modern parts require. In order to assist manufacturers to deliver their products timely, accurately with the fancy look, softwares are used to turn computer-designed parts into machine codes, and subsequently, the codes are used in CNC machines to machine the intricate parts. By integrating the design and machining process, the process becomes faster and less-prone to error. Before the codes are used in actual production, the machining process could be simulated on screen to make sure that the code actually delivers the final product that the designer has dreamed of. Please refer to Unit 1 in the handout and complete the tutorial at the end of the unit. You can now view the answer to the tutorial from the following slide.
Additional assignment:
Write your comment and suggest what the world could be like if there were no computers to help us to design and manufacture. Look around you and suggest something that could not even exist if there were no computers to help.
