Abstract
This paper aims to analyze programs aided by computer used to design three – dimensional models (3D) and manufacturing process, namely, respectively, Computer Aided Design (CAD) and Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM). It is intended to make a market overview of the programs and its characteristics and CAD/CAM software assist this process because they permit you to effectively plan the design and manufacturing process of the part, avoiding errors and waste of material, allowing to reach the finished part in a shorter time. A few years ago, the decision to invest in a CAM system for machine programming took into account only the technical resources linked to production. Now it is necessary to verify the capacity of CAM integration with the other sectors of the company, such as the Sales and Engineering that use CAD programs; this joint work is important because parts that have already been designed in 3D do not need to be redesigned and the system itself must be able to plan and prepare the part to be machined automatically. The integration of the program with the commercial sector allows the company to generate more accurate budgets, avoiding lost deals by overbilling and also avoiding inventory, informing the entry and exit of materials. Another significant advantage is the possibility of visualizing the finished product in digital format and to simulate its manufacturing virtually being possible to make any correction if necessary. Using simulation and analysis systems for product validation is a way to avoid errors and problems in the part in later steps.
