Computer Aided Design or CAD
The function of computer aided design in manufacturing is to implementation new part or and replace the existing parts. In computer aided design, designer uses graphic software and the geometric shapes that manipulate in a computer.
One can be advantage by designing Computer Integrated manufacturing systems both in terms of non tangible and tangible benefits. Tangible benefits from CIM can be utilized in different analysis concerned to economy and finance of the system. A description of different benefits from computer integrated manufacturing systems is described in Table no.1.
