ICT in manufacturing Flashcards
what does cad allow you to do
designers to test 3d models
define CFD
computational fluid dynamics - wind tunel testing
define fea
finite element analysis - stress testing
what does CNC machines used in manufacturing
lathe
miler
router
outer
embrodery machine
what is additive manufacturing
adds a layer at a time rather than taking bits off
what do 3d printers use
FDM - fixed deposition modelling
what is stero lithography
piston layer of resin and layer traces the shape on the platform
what is laser suntering
roller creates thin layer of material powder and laser traces the shapes of the layer, heats and fuses - platform moves down and repeat
what are robotics used for in manufacturing
move goods pre programmed repetitive tasks via different end effectors
- spot welding
- spraying
- placing components and lighting
