CAD/CAM /CIM (ME-704) - Important Questions

  1. Unit 114 Marks Low Priority

    Give a step-by-step procedure to model a given mechanical component in SolidWorks and generate detailed drawings.

    Core CAD modelling and drawing generation; aligns with Unit 1 CAD software exposure.

  2. Unit 114 Marks Low Priority

    Prepare CAM toolpaths for a provided 3D model for CNC milling, simulate the operation, and list possible causes of tool collision.

    Core CAM programming and simulation for milling operations; tests practical CAM skills from Unit 1.

  3. Unit 110 Marks Low Priority

    Explain the components and data flow of a typical CIM cell and discuss advantages of remote CIM operation.

    Fundamental CIM concepts and dataflow; aligns with Unit 1 CIM cell understanding and remote operation benefits.

  4. Unit 110 Marks Low Priority

    Calculate machining time, spindle speed, and feed for a turning operation given workpiece dimensions and cutting data (use standard machining formulae).

    Standard machining calculation problem derived from Unit 1 CAM processes; assesses use of machining formulae.

  5. Unit 110 Marks Low Priority

    Compare SolidWorks, CATIA, and Unigraphics with respect to parametrization, surface modelling, and typical industrial applications.

    Comparative analysis of major CAD packages; tests conceptual knowledge of parametric and surface modelling (Unit 1).

  6. Unit 114 Marks Medium Priority

    Provide practical exposure to computer-aided design (CAD) software tools such as SolidWorks, CATIA, and Unigraphics. Demonstrate, with annotated screenshots or exported drawings, the steps to create a parametric part, assemble components, and produce detailed fabrication drawings.

    Directly reflects the syllabus requirement to provide hands-on CAD exposure; framed as an exam task to demonstrate practical competence in CAD tools.

  7. Unit 114 Marks Medium Priority

    Introduce computer-assisted manufacturing (CAM) processes including CNC turning, CNC milling, and CNC drilling. For each process, outline typical tool selection, cutting parameters, and a sample CAM operation workflow including setup and simulation notes.

    Directly reflects the syllabus requirement to introduce CAM processes; formulated as an applied CAM exercise for CNC operations.

  8. Unit 110 Marks Medium Priority

    Demonstrate remote operation of a computer-integrated manufacturing (CIM) cell to develop industry-ready skills. Describe the communication architecture, necessary software modules, and list the advantages and potential limitations of remote CIM operation.

    Directly reflects the syllabus requirement on CIM remote operation; framed to assess understanding of remote CIM cell operation and advantages.
