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.

  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...

Evaporators – natural convection, forced convection types.

 Evaporators are heat transfer devices used in refrigeration systems to remove heat from the surroundings and convert the liquid refrigerant into a vapor.  There are two types of evaporators: natural convection and forced convection. Natural Convection Evaporators:                                                           Natural convection evaporators use the natural buoyancy of the vapor to circulate it through the evaporator. The liquid refrigerant flows through a series of tubes, and as it evaporates, the vapor rises to the top of the evaporator. This creates a temperature difference between the top and bottom of the evaporator, which creates a natural circulation of the refrigerant. Natural convection evaporators are typically used in small refrigeration systems or in applications where there is a low heat load.  For...

Different types of business structures, Business Ideas and their implementation:- • Discovering ideas and visualizing the business • Activity map • Business Plan

Different types of business structures:- 1. Sole Proprietorship:-                            A sole proprietorship is the simplest and most common form of business structure. In this type, the business is owned and operated by a single individual. The owner has complete control over the business and assumes all liability for its debts and obligations.  Some key features of a sol e proprietorship include:   • Ownership: The business is owned by one person, known as the sole proprietor.  • Liability: The sole proprietor has unlimited personal liability for the business's debts and obligations. This means that personal assets can be used to satisfy business liabilities.  • Decision- Making: The sole proprietor makes all the decisions regarding the business's operations.  • Taxes: The owner reports business income and expenses on their personal tax return.  2. Partnership:- ...
