Trends In CAD/CAM That Will Shape The Future
The rest of this decade will see continued advances in techniques for creating and manipulating workpiece geometry. Standards for user interfaces, data transfer, and computer architecture will give users new flexibility. All of these developments promise to have a significant impact on numerical control and other manufacturing applications.
Where are numerical control (NC) and computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) headed? What current trends are influencing the direction these key manufacturing technologies are taking? The answers to these important questions should help us anticipate and ...
