Course: Demo 1

Q: Using computer-aided design allows:
- testing of a product concept digitally before prototyping
- designers to view the product from all angles
- different materials to be used to manufacture prototypes
A: testing of a product concept digitally before prototyping; designers to view the product from all angles

Q: Because many companies have automated and integrated all aspects of their operations, ________ systems are revolutionizing the production process.
- customer integration
- computer-monitored
- computer-integrated manufacturing (CIM)
A: computer-integrated manufacturing (CIM)

Q: The software used to design models of potential products is called ________.
- computer-aided manufacturing (CAM)
- computer-created design (CCD)
- computer-aided design (CAD)
A: computer-aided design (CAD)

Q: The software system that determines the steps needed to produce a component and instructs the machines that do the work is called ________.
- computer-aided design (CAD)
- computer-created manufacturing (CCM)
- computer-aided manufacturing (CAM)
A: computer-aided manufacturing (CAM)

Q: When companies link CAD to CAM systems, companies are able to design and manufacture goods faster and more efficiently. The integration of CAD/CAM also provides companies with an opportunity to:
- monitor and improve quality
- manufacture at a lower cost
- reduce their marketing expenses
A: monitor and improve quality; manufacture at a lower cost

Q: A CIM system is a common element in ________, whereby computer-controlled equipment can easily be adapted to produce a variety of goods.
- outsourcing systems
- static manufacturing systems
- flexible manufacturing systems
A: flexible manufacturing systems

Q: A company that manufactures automobiles has decided to also manufacture motorcycles. Because they use an FMS (flexible manufacturing system), they are able to:
- save time because they do not need to modify production equipment
- save money because they do not need to purchase new specialized equipment
- save time because they build only one type of product
A: save time because they do not need to modify production equipment; save money because they do not need to purchase new specialized equipment

Q: ________ is a form of computer-aided production that builds a three-dimensional object by adding layers of material, one upon the other until an object is created.
- 2D printing
- 3 flexible manufacturing
- 3D printing
A: 3D printing
