The Impact Of Ict On The Automotive Design And The...

Introduction This report will study the use of ICT (Information and Communication technology) in the Automotive Design and the manufacturing process ICT has become a fundamental part of engineering careers, thanks to software’s which help us to design, create, test, analyse, assembly and many other things, making the mass production of cars easier, more precise and faster. The most used and popular software’s in engineering are AutoCAD (Automatic Computer aided design) for precise dimension in drawing, BIM (Building information modelling), CAM (Computer Aided Manufacturing), and CNC (Computer Numerical Control) This report will also analyse the types of mechanical machines used in the process of manufacturing of a car also known as co-operative or Collaborative robots, which are machines that can work along with human. All of them, excluding one (Force regulated co-operative robot), must have an additional security feature, and we will analyse the features of this robot in a deeper way AutoCAD AutoCAD is a designing software used widely in many branches of engineering such as mechanical, civil and aeronautical engineering. Developed by AutoDesk, Inc. AutoCAD mainly helps us to design cars [Fig.1], buildings, planes, and almost any other object you can think of. Since its release to the public in 1982 AutoCAD has become one of the most recognized and used designing software; Now days we can get AutoCAD monthly subscription for the price of  £222.00 In 2010Show MoreRelatedCase Study : General Motors Company1826 Words   |  8 PagesICT 4010-ENTERPRISE ARCHITECTURE CASE STUDY 01 GENERAL MOTORS BY CHANDAN BANDI UNIVERSITY COLLEGE, UNIVERSITY OF DENVER INSTRUCTOR: EDWARD G.
