Application of the CAD/CAM technology in Motorcycle Jacket’s Forging Mould Designing
Abstract: It is well known that surface parts can be seen everywhere in the manufacturing , especially in the mould manufacturing . The traditional design and manufacturing processes are the engineering drafting , lofting , template making , standard samples , etc. , which have the shortages of long production preparation period , low processing accuracy and production efficiency . With the developing of the computer technique’ application in the mould manufacturing , NC machining capability has been enhanced greatly ,and, the design and manufacturing technique of the mould has obtained enormous progress at the same time . The CAD/CAM technique has become the revolutionary sign in the mould industry . To be suitable for the tendency of CAD/CAM technique’ development and meet the requirement to change the traditional design /manufacturing modes are the developing direction of the mould industry .
This project is about the application of the CAD/CAM technique in the wrought mould surface processing . It contains two parts : one is about the mould design of the motorcycle jacket and the other is about the numerical control simulate process of the mould surface . Under the environment of Mastercam 8.0 , I will sculpt the mould of the motorcycle jacket using the CAD function , and then , I will weave the tool route , simulate processing and create the NC programme via the back disposing using the CAM function . And at last , I hope I can improve my cognition to the significance of the CAD/CAM technique’ application in the mould industry by the study of the task .
