ARTICLES RELATING TO CAD/CAM

Hugh Watson, founder of Innova Design, has written several articles relating to engineering, CAD/CAM and design and we feature them here on the web site.

Some of the articles have also been published by EzineArticles and Hugh has been acknowledged by them as an EzineArticles Expert Author.

Article 1: An Engineers Guide to CNC Machining CAD/CAM

An introduction to the development of Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machining from Numerical Control (NC) and how this innovation has altered the role of the machine operator.

Article 2: Designing Parts for Small Batch Machining

CNC Machining when combined with 3D CADCAM has revolutionised workshop practice in recent years. It has opened up a whole new world of possibilities for designers who are designing machined components which are intended to be produced in small or medium sized batches. In this article Hugh discusses the changes and constraints from a designers point of view.
