CAD & CAM : Conventional Design Process

     Conventional Design Process


There are six steps involved in the conventional design process as discussed below:

 1. Recognition of need

 • The first step in the designing process is to recognize necessity of that particular design.

 • The condition under which the part is going to operate and the operation of part in that particular environment.

 • The real problem is identified by knowing the history and difficulties faced in system.


2. Definition of problem

 • The design involves type of shape of part, its space requirement, the material restrictions and the condition under which the part has to operate. 

 • The basic purpose of design process has to be known before starting the design.

 • A problem may be design of a simple part or complex part.

 • It may be problem on optimizing certain parameters.


3. Synthesis of design 

• In this, it may be necessary to prepare a rough drawing of design part. 

 • The type of loading conditions imposed on the parts. 

• The type of shapes which the part section can require and approximate dimension at which the different forces are located has to be provided on the sketch of part. 

 • The stresses to which the part is likely to be subjected must be analyzed and relevant formulas should be prepared.

 • A mathematical model of design may be prepared to synthesize the parts of design.


4. Analysis and optimization 

• The design can be analyzed for the type of loading condition as well as the geometric shape of the part.

 • In the first stage it will be necessary to check the design of the part for safe stresses.

 • If it is not satisfactory, then the dimensions of the part can be recalculated.

 • The part can further be optimized for acquiring minimum dimensions, weight, volume, efficiency of the material and cost.

 • The optimization depends on the definition of the problem and importance of a parameter.

 • It may be sometimes necessary to optimize the part for certain operating parameters like efficiency, torque, etc. 


5. Evaluation

 • It is concerned with measuring the design against the specifications established in the problem definition phase. 

 • The evaluation often requires the fabrication and testing of model to assess operating performance, quality and reliability. 


6. Presentation

 • The design of component must be presented along with necessary drawings in an attractive format.

Compressor,and its types:-Hermetically Sealed Compressors and Semi-Hermetically Sealed Compressors.

Compressors are mechanical devices that are used to increase the pressure of a gas or vapor by reducing its volume. There are various types of compressors available in the market, each with its own unique features and advantages. Two of the most commonly used compressors are Hermetically sealed and Semihermetically sealed compressors. Hermetically Sealed Compressors:-                                                 A hermetically sealed compressor is a type of compressor that is completely sealed and is designed for small applications like refrigeration and air conditioning units. The hermetic compressor is called so because its motor and compressor are placed in a single sealed casing. The casing is welded or brazed shut, which prevents any gas or liquid from leaking in or out of the compressor. The hermetically sealed compressor is also known as a ‘sealed c...

Subject:-Measurement & Metrology, Angle measuring instruments:-Sine bar , Clinometer , Bevel Protector.

  Angle measuring instrument:-   →   The instrument which is used for measurement the slope of any object surface is called angle measuring instrument . →T here are 3 types of angle measuring instrument.     ( I)Sine bar                   ( II)Clinometer     ( III)Bevel Protector                         SINE BAR:- → sine bar is an angle-measuring instrument that measures slope of any object with the help of slip gases and a dial indicator. → it is a steel piece mounted over two hardened steel cylindrical roller having equal diameter. → To make it lighter in weight small holes are drilled along steel piece. Principle:- →The working of sine bar is based on the princiople of trigonometry.  In this one roller is placed over combination of slip gauges and another is placed over table surfaces. →If H is the height of slip gauge c...

Basic principles of the clamping; Types of clamps: Strap clamps, Cam clamps, Screw clamps, Toggle clamps, Hydraulic and Pneumatic clamps

  Clamping is a process used in various industries to hold or secure objects in place during machining, welding, assembly, or other operations. The basic principle of clamping involves applying force to hold the workpiece firmly in position, preventing movement or displacement. There are different types of clamps available for various applications, and here are the basic principles and types you mentioned: Strap Clamps : Strap clamps use a flexible strap or band to encircle and secure the workpiece. They typically have a ratchet or cam mechanism that tightens the strap, creating tension and holding the workpiece firmly. Strap clamps are versatile and commonly used in woodworking, cabinetry, and general assembly. Cam Clamps : Cam clamps utilize a cam mechanism to apply pressure and secure the workpiece. The clamp consists of a lever with a cam-shaped head that engages with the workpiece when the lever is pressed down. Cam clamps are ...
