CAD - CAM DATA TRANSFER AS A PART OF PRODUCT LIFE CYCLE

Availability and accessibility of proper and correct information is a precondition nowadays for launching a successful product to the world market. Every piece of information will help in creating a new and improved product at any segment of its life cycle. If it is a computer aided manufacturing, then in the phase of data transfer from the geometrical model to the production model, errors should be minimized. A large number of standards, protocols and scripts for the software data exchange confirm how important this area is. On the other hand, the end user is always able to look for better and more favorable solutions, with the least possibility for errors, in our case, in data transfer. Thus all the input requirements of the designer are met, giving the product the desired geometry and quality. That is only a precondition for its further development and implementation in the complex technical systems, so that it would pass into the next phase of its life cycle, which is its actual service and fulfillment of end users' requirements.
