CAD Fundamentals
What is AutoCAD?
This software is widely used for 2D drafting and 3D modeling.
What is Computer-Aided Manufacturing?
CAM stands for these three words.
What is G00?
This code commands rapid movement of the cutting tool.
What is a Sketch?
A 2D representation used as the basis for creating 3D models.
What is STL?
This file format is commonly used for 3D printing.
What is Computer-Aided Design?
CAD stands for these three words.
What is CNC Machine?
This machine tool is commonly controlled using CAM-generated programs.
What is G01?
This code commands linear interpolation.
What is Cut/Extrude Cut?
A feature that removes material from a solid model.
What is Additive Manufacturing?
This technology creates parts layer by layer.
What is Cartesian Coordinate System?
This coordinate system uses X, Y, and Z axes.
What is G-Code?
CAM software generates this type of machine code.
What is G02?
This code commands clockwise circular interpolation.
What is Extrude?
A feature that adds material by extending a profile.
What is Digital Twin/Product Model?
Digital representation of a physical product throughout its lifecycle.
What is Surface Modeling?
This modeling technique creates objects using mathematical equations.
What is Machining?
This manufacturing process removes material from a workpiece.
What is S-Code?
This code sets the spindle speed.
What is Revolve?
A modeling operation that rotates a sketch around an axis.
What is CIM (Computer Integrated Manufacturing)?
A manufacturing strategy integrating CAD, CAM, and production systems.
What is Reverse Engineering?
The process of converting a physical object into a digital CAD model.
What is Simulation?
The process of verifying tool paths before machining.
What is Automatic Tool Changer (ATC)?
This function automatically changes tools during machining.
What is Parametric Modeling?
A design approach where dimensions drive geometry automatically.
What is a Digital Twin?
Industry 4.0 technology that creates a virtual replica of a physical system.
