Summary
CAD and CAM have been mistakenly perceived by many as simply computer aided drafting and the making of things using NC machines, especially when the microcomputer is used as the processor. In this paper, a microcomputer-based CAD program is used to carry out design analysis, calculation, creating 2D and 3D drawings and to integrate with CAM and database packages for efficient management of pump manufacturing. The development still has some minor problems. However, we believe a fully working low cost microcomputer-based CAD-CAM integration can be implemented in most manufacturing firms in the near future.
