APPLICATION OF CAD/CAM TECHNOLOGY IN MACHINING

U radu je objašnjena primjena CAD/CAM tehnologije u obradi odvajanjem čestica. Rad je podijeljen u tri dijela. U prvom dijelu rada, opisano je značenje CAD/CAM tehnologije. Opisano je nekoliko popularnih CAD/CAM programskih rješenja te su za praktične potrebe izabrani softveri SolidWorks/SolidCAM kao CAD/CAM programsko rješenje. Također su navedene neke od važnijih godina iz povijesti razvoja CAD/CAM-a. U drugom dijelu, teorijski se obrađuje 3D modeliranje i vrši se 3D modeliranje odabranog primjera proizvoda u SolidWorks-u uz detaljan opis rada. Treći dio pokriva definiranje tehnologije obrade odvajanjem čestica unutar SolidCAM-a za modelirani proizvod. Dio podrazumijeva pripremu modela za CAM, odabir stroja, definiranje stezne naprave, odabir alata te detaljno definiranje svake operacije uz prikaz simulacije procesa obrade.In this paper, an application of CAD/CAM technology is explained. Paper consists of three parts. In the first part, meaning of CAD/CAM technology is presented. Some popular CAD/CAM software solutions are shown. For practical purposes, SolidWorks/SolidCAM softwares are chosen as a CAD/CAM software solution. Also some of the important years in the history development of CAD/CAM are mentioned. In the second part, theory behind 3D modeling is explained and 3D modeling is done and shown in detail inside SolidWorks on the example of the chosen product. Third part covers defining of machining manufacturing technology inside SolidCAM for previously modeled product. This includes model CAM preparation, machine selection, defining a fixture, tool selection and thoroughly defining of every single operation, including simulation of the machining process
