Introduction

• 1995 - CBU received NSF - ILI grant for
  Integrated Laboratory for Manufacturing Education.

• Integrate undergraduate instructions in modern
  design method, agile manufacturing, and automated
  assembly.

• Utilize the state-of-the-art mechanical design
  software - Pro/ENGINEER?.

• Focus on parametric design, 3D solid modeling and
  hands-on experience on traditional machining and
  CNC machining.

What kind of software ?
Pro/ENGINEER

What is Pro/ENGINEER ?
A parametric, feature-based solid modeling system
Parametric You can define or modify a features
dimension or other attribute at any time. Any
changes will automatically propagate through the
model. You can relate dimensions in numeric
formula.
Feature-based Create parts and assemblies by
defining features like extrusions, sweeps, cuts,
holes, slots, etc.
Solid Modeling Computer model is able to
contain all the information that a real solid
object would have.

• Shaded image cutting simulation

Pro/NC-POST

• Create or edit the post-processor for NC
  machining code

Pro/MECHANICA

• Finite Element Analysis Tool
• Structure, Thermal, and Motion analysis

Pro/FLY THROUGH

• VRML Navigator

Summary

• ICUME at CBU creates a laboratory environment
  that reinforces and integrates undergraduate
  instructions in modern design methods and
  manufacturing.

• Parametric design methodology reduces the time
  for modification and redesign.

• Computer simulations of the manufacturing model
  and stress/thermal analysis of machined
  components provide better visualization and
  understanding of manufacturing processes.
