Computer Aided Manufacturing By P N Rao

With design of products changing frequently, and functional requirements becoming more demanding, batch production of high precision components has become a necessity. The advent of NC and CNC has enabled automation of batch manufacturing supported by computerisation of manufacturing systems. The book is a complete reference consisting of several technologies associated with modern automated manufacturing.
