for the product design most of the required data base to manufacture product is
created. Such as, geometries and dimensions of the product and its
components, materials specifications for components, bill of materials etc.
Design process:
1) Recognition of needs; Involves problems exists for correction and perception of
a new product.

1- Geometric modeling;
is mathematical description of the geometry of an object.
This helps the designer to construct the graphical image of the object on the CRT
screen of the ICG (interactive computer geometry) system by:
Commands for generation basic elements.
Commands for transformations.
Commands for joining the various elements into the desired objects.
The computer converts the commands into mathematical model, stores, and displays
it as an image on CRT. This model can be called from the data files for review or
analysis.
Methods for representing the object in geometric modeling:
Wire frame.
Surface representation
Solid modeling
2- Engineering analysis
Analysis of mass properties
Finite-element analysis
3- Design review and evaluation
Check the accuracy of the design (dimensions errors, interference check,
kinematics motion evaluation)
4- Automated drafting
Besides these four functions CAD systems can used for classified and coding the parts
(collecting the similar parts into groups).

The CAD/CAM data base which used in the following areas;
Tool and fixture design for manufacturing.
Numerical control part programming.
Computer aided process planning.
Assembly lists for production.
Computer aided inspection.
Robotics planning
Group technology.
Shorter manufacturing lead times through better scheduling.
