Sheet Metal forming in modern industry deal with complicated shapes and the forming processs consists of several successive operations, until the final shape is formed. The process sequence, die geometry, perform shape/ blank shape and process parameter at each stage are designed based on past experience and trial and error.
Conventional computer aided design (CAD) system have dramatically reduced the workload of the human design and reduced the duration of product design cycle.
This paper presents integration of CAD/CAM technology, maximize productivity through automated industry specific process in progressive die design software, streamlining complex processes and automating tasks for remarkable time savings.
The objective behind the implementation of integrated design and manufacturing system using CAD/CAM technique is an integrated approach ,complete design tool to assist the designer in all phases is ability to build precision tooling in less time and at lower cost, relatively easy to implement and well suited to industry. A long term solution is to introduce integrated CAD/CAM practices to the die making industry to help it meet with the challenges for the planning designing and manufacturing.
