Intelligent Product Design and Manufacturing

February 10 - 11, 2003

 

 

Introduction

 

Manufacturing in the 21st century faces several challenges such as shorter product life cycles, frequent design revisions and the need for shortest time to market to meet the global competition. During the last decade, CAD/CAM/CIM tools were developed to automate and integrate various phases of the product cycle like design, analysis, planning, production and inspection. They provided significant benefits in terms of enhanced productivity and product quality, but had little flexibility to incorporate the knowledge and heuristic reasoning ability of the human experts.

 

Today the focus worldwide is on the development of Intelligent CAD/CAM systems to mimic the reasoning ability of human experts by using the techniques of Artificial Intelligence. (AI)

 

The objective of this course is to introduce this new and exciting field of Intelligent CAD/CAM with particular focus on Product Design and Manufacturing. The course will comprise of lectures, case study presentations and software demonstrations.

Course Outline

 

o        Artificial Neural Networks, Fuzzy Logic, Expert Systems

o        Applications to CNC machining, Forming, Parameter selection

o        Applications to web based CAD, CAPP, CNC, Assembly planning

Software Demonstrations

 

Inhouse developed software packages on Internet based Collaborative CAD/CAM such as webCAD, webCNC, webRobot, Assembly planning etc and software tools like Artificial Neural Network will be demonstrated with various engineering applications.

 

The CAM Laboratory

 

The Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM) laboratory at IIT, Bombay, houses a trainer Flexible Manufacturing System (FMS) consisting of CNC milling center, turning center, two robots and a programmable conveyor in an integrated environment.  It also has various PC workstations with CAD/CAM software such as IDEAS-9, MasterCAM, MOLDFLOW, etc. These are extensively used for custom software development, research and training.
