INTRODUCTION:
The term CAD/CAM is a shortening of Computer-Aided Design (CAD) and Computer-Aided
Manufacturing (CAM).
CAD/CAM software uses CAD drawing tools to describe geometries used by the CAM portion of
the program to define a tool path that will direct the motion of a machine tool to machine the
exact shape that was drawn.
(http://www.gsd.harvard.edu/inside/cadcam/whatis.htm accessed on 19th NOV, 2009)
We are using AUTODESK inventor (CAD) and CNC simulator (CAM) for this purpose.
What finally made NC technology enormously successful was the development of the universal
NC programming language called APT (Automatically Programmed Tools). APT allowed
programmers to develop postprocessors specific to each type of NC tool so that the output from
the APT program could be shared among different parties with different manufacturing
capabilities.
The CNC machines have many important operations but for our assignment we would discuss the
milling and turning operation of the CNC simulator.
Milling
Milling is the process of cutting away material by feeding a work piece past a rotating multiple
tooth cutter. The cutting action of the many teeth around the milling cutter provides a fast method
of machining. The machined surface may be flat, angular, or curved. The surface may also be
milled to any combination of shapes. The machine for holding the work piece, rotating the cutter,
and feeding it is known as the Milling machine.
Computer Numerical Control (CNC) Milling is the most common form of CNC. CNC mills can
perform the functions of drilling and often turning. CNC Mills are classified according to the
number of axes that they possess. Axes are labeled as x and y for horizontal movement, and z for
vertical movement, as shown in this view of a manual mill table. A standard manual light-duty
mill is typically assumed to have four axes:
1. Table x
2. Table y
3. Table z
4. Milling Head z
A five-axis CNC milling machine has an extra axis in the form of a horizontal pivot for the
milling head, as shown below. This allows extra flexibility for machining with the end mill at an
angle with respect to the table. A six-axis CNC milling machine would have another horizontal
pivot for the milling head, this time perpendicular to the fifth axis.CNC milling machines are
traditionally programmed using a set of commands known as G-codes. G-codes represent specific
CNC functions in alphanumeric format.
Turning
Turning is another of the basic machining processes. Turning produces solids of revolution which can be
tightly tolerance because of the specialized nature of the operation. Turning is performed on a machine
called a lathe in which the tool is stationary and the part is rotated. Lathes are designed solely for turning
operations, so that precise control of the cutting results in tight tolerances. The work piece is mounted on
the chuck, which rotates relative to the stationary tool.
The term facing is used to describe removal of material from the flat end of a cylindrical part, as
shown below. Facing is often used to improve the finish of surfaces that have been parted.
CAD\CAM
The development of Computer-aided design had little effect on CNC initially due to the different
capabilities and file formats used by drawing and machining programs. However, as CAD
applications such as Solid Works and AutoCAD incorporate CAM intelligence, and as CAM
applications such as Master Cam adopt sophisticated CAD tools, both designers and
manufacturers are now enjoying an increasing variety of capable CAD/CAM software. Most
CAD/CAM software was developed for product development and the design and manufacturing
of components and molds, but they are being used by architects with greater frequency.
Today, over three-quarters of new machine tools incorporate CNC technologies. These tools are
used in every conceivable manufacturing sector, including many that affect building technologies.
CNC technology is related to Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM), Computer Aided
Process Planning (CAPP) and other technologies such as Group Technology (GT) and Cellular
Manufacturing. Flexible Manufacturing Systems (FMS) and Just-In-Time Production (JIT) are
made possible by Numerically-Controlled Machines.
Autodesk Inventor
The Autodesk Inventor software product line provides a comprehensive and flexible set of
software for 3D mechanical design, product simulation, tooling creation, and design
communication. Cost-effectively take advantage of a Digital Prototyping workflow to design and
build better products in less time.

CNC Simulator
It is software which helps user to machine a product which has been designed using a software
(Autodesk inventor), with help of set of codes. This then can be put on to CNC machine to cut a
piece to get the product in real life.
OBJECTIVE:
Our objective is to develop 2 designs one for milling and one for turning using Autodesk Inventor
(CAD). The designs have to be such that once the designs have been created we can use CNC
simulator (CAM) to develop the g-codes for the designs. Which then can be milled or turned
using a CNC machine in real life and then we can have original product of our design.
We also have to do stress analysis of our 2 Autodesk Inventor designs and make improvements so
that we can have the best product possible.
I have added some extra features to the keyboard body so that I can show various milling
operations as required by the lecturer.
For my turning operation I have chosen Tapered Stem Valve. A valve is a device that regulates
the flow of a fluid (gases, liquids, fluidized solids, or slurries) by opening, closing, or partially
obstructing various passageways.
Plug valves for use in control of the flow of the particulate catalyst in catalytic convertors. The
plug valves shown in these disclosures have served quite adequately. A valve of the plug type is
typically installed in the bottom of a regenerator vessel. It is mounted adjacent a pipe or conduit
which typically extends through the wall of the vessel to position the plug in close proximity to a
valve seat, typically located at the end of a pipe or conduit. Catalyst flows through the pipe and is
metered past the valve seat by the position of the tapered plug valve. The catalyst is an abrasive
material which has a propensity for abrading and wearing away the metal components of the plug
valve. This is particularly a problem with the stem below the plug. The stem must work through
an opening of specified size in the body of the valve. The vessel itself is pressurized and hence, it
is necessary to prevent leakage from the pressurized vessel along the stem where it inserts
through the wall of the body of the valve. Moreover, it is desirable to prevent particulate catalyst
from working into the spaces between the valve stem and its supporting structure. Particulate
catalyst in this area wears the stem away and weakens the structure. The apparatus of the present
invention is an improved plug mounted on a protected stem. The stem is protected in a significant
fashion which avoids the problem of stem erosion by the particulate catalyst. The protective plug
valve of this particular invention can be used both for the metering valve which admits spent
catalyst to the regenerator and the valve which controls the flow of regenerated catalyst from a
dense phase fluid bed in a regenerator into a catalytic reaction vessel. This apparatus is
particularly useful in extending the life of a metering valve in a catalyst regenerator. Continued
operation of a catalytic reactor, disengage and the catalyst regenerator that is cooperative
therewith is essential. When they are brought on line, they are normally intended to operate for
months and hopefully for more than one year. During the continued use of such equipment, the
valves which control the flow of the particulate catalyst are subjected to the type of wear
mentioned above. Wearing of the valve stem of the plug valves which control the flow of the
catalyst can become so excessive as to wear through the valve stem and cause it to break.
Breakage of the valve stem normally constitutes a catastrophic failure requiring emergency
shutdown of the catalytic process and emergency repairs. Shutdown is normally scheduled where
maintenance on all parts of the equipment can be completed. An emergency shutdown to repair a
single component is extremely undesirable, particularly in view of the fact that the lost revenues
may easily exceed several thousand dollars per hour. In view of these circumstances, it will be
understood that protection of the valve stem is exceedingly important and this invention provides
that type of protection. The present invention protects the valve stem against significant contact
with the particulate catalyst. The catalyst may settle in the vicinity of the valve stem but it does
not otherwise abrade the surface of the valve stem in significant measure. This invention thus
extends the life of the stem substantially and avoids catastrophic shutdowns.
I had to add some extra features to the valve in CNC simulator not Autodesk Inventor to show
various turning operation as required by the lecture. Also had to change my turning product
dimensions as compared to Autodesk dimensions by 100 times as otherwise could not make 2
internal diameters required as tools werent present in it .

STRESS ANALYSIS:
With the Structural Mechanics functions, you can obtain a large spectrum of information about
the stress state at a point in a deformable body. Mathematically, the state of stress at a point in an
elastic body is determined by six independent stress components and is specified by a secondorder symmetric Cartesian tensor, also known as the stress tensor. The values of these stress
components change with the orientation of the coordinate system in which each stress component
is defined. You can rotate the coordinate system so you can study some of the practical issues of
the stress state at a point. For example, you can reduce certain stress components to zero in a
particular orientation of the coordinate system. Such information is useful in calculating the stress
concentrations in a stress analysis.
Structural Mechanics has the functions for computing the principal stress components and
principal stress direction from a stress tensor. It includes the functions for computing maximum
shear stress and its directions, and the graphical functions for plotting the principal stress planes
and principal stress directions. You can even draw Mohr's circles directly from the state tensor.
Structural Mechanics also provides a number of examples illustrating the use of these functions.
You usually study the state of stress to determine a single failure criterion from the stress tensor.
From a number of proposed theories used to predict material failure, three of the most commonly
used models: maximum normal stress, maximum shear stress, and distortion energy theory.

We increase the height or the thickness of our keyboard, increase the fillet radius on the sides and
fillet the keys next to the spacebar. After improving the parts we compare them with the previous
parts and we can see change for betterment. We see that the new keyboard developed by us is
much safer than the previous one and has less displacement as compared.
Here we increase the hole radius on the front end of the valve, increase the depth and increase the
length of the portion below the first slant. In new stem tapered valve we see that it is much safer
compared to the previous one and displacement is almost same if not less compared.
CONCLUSION:
After doing this assignment I have learnt a lot about Autodesk inventor how does it work and
where all it can be applied. I learnt a great detail about the stress analysis using Autodesk inventor
which is very useful in creating a good quality product. The assignment also taught me how to
work with g-codes using CNC simulator and machine the product as the design from Autodesk
inventor. The g-codes (CNC simulator) along with Autodesk inventor has opened a wide field of
careers I can choose from. Designing and manufacturing is one of the most sort after industry and
learning two of the main softwares which powers designing and manufacturing has helped me a
lot.
