Manufacturing Methods and Technology CAD/CAM (Computer-Aided Design/Computer-Aided Manufacturing) Related Efforts (FY 80-86).

Abstract

This report provides a summary of the Army's Manufacturing Methods and Technology Program directed toward computer-aided design (CAD)/computer aided manufacturing (CAM). The report describes individual work efforts covering the period FY 80 through FY 86 and gives necessary information to determine the direction, application and status of each effort. These efforts were selected from the MMT program as being CAD/CAM activities by the Chairman of the Manufacturing Technology Advisory Group CAD/CAM Subcommittee. Also, a specific system technology area was selected for each effort. In this report, the efforts are organized in the following sections: Architecture; Fabrication; Data Base/Data Automation; CAD/CAM Interaction; Planning and Group Technology; Manufacturing control; Assembly; Simulation, Modeling, and Operations Research; Materials Handling and Storage; Test, Inspection and Evaluation; and Continuous Flow Processes. An analysis of the CAD/CAM program (FY 80-84) is also provided.
