When the country was considered as the Third World Country, the other countries in the region had the problem of very little or almost no mechanization. As the country has reached the status of Next Eleven Countries, the country is still working with legacy manufacturing systems with islands of automation. Whatever has been automated has very high dependency on exporting country where end user license, no after sales technical support and embargoes are common phenomenon.

Functional Reverse Engineering of Machine Tools, taken as a prime case because it aims to develop more machines for almost every purpose, is a redesign exercise that does not violate the Intellectual Property Right of anyone. It aims to fill the vacuum that is evolving due to the high demand posed at one end, the economic activity generated due to being Next Eleven countries with desire to gain a higher place in Next Eleven Countries and mimicking BRICS nations, and; on the other hand the rising economic activity because of One Belt One Road initiative taken up by Chinese Government and deeply supported by Government of Pakistan.

This course tells you how to build machines in almost any sector!

This course starts with the basic introduction to CAD/CAM and extends it to practical applications of the subject. It traces the history of CAD/CAM modeling with reference to ancient excavations to modern holographs. The subject emphasizes the need for geometry data transfer standards among various well-known CAD/CAE/CAM packages and details it in practical situations. CAE is explained in detail. Computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) is introduced through introduction to well-known standard programming and verifying techniques and extend it to virtual manufacturing.

The course contents include engineering design and manufacturing; and an introduction to conventional and modern CAD/CAM cycles. Wireframe, surface and solid modelling; CAD hardware and software; 2D and 3D graphics and transformations; assembly modelling; DFM; DFA; material data base; geometry data base; machine element data base; control element data base and other databases; neutral data exchange standards are covered. Manufacturing Processes and Manufacturing, Pilot Production and Production; Production Planning and Control including Process Planning: manual, variant and generative; part programing, ladder diagrams, scheduling: master, job and maintenance, and all types of inventory control in different types of manufacturing systems are discussed. Manufacturing philosophies, importance of PLM, PLA, CF, MES and Product Life Cycle is underlined.

A comprehensive placement of subjects in the era of 4th Industrial Revolution through explaining pillars of Industry 4.0 and Industry 5.0 is included. Smart manufacturing is differentiated.

The space revolution and quantum computing revolution is also covered.

The inception of Computer Numerical Control (CNC) Technology in the 1950s at MIT, USA has led to an entirely new paradigm of growth in productivity of small, medium, and large manufacturing enterprises. The CNC machines, falling under both additive and subtractive manufacturing processes categories, have reached implementation level of fourth industrial revolution technologies. Today, the CNC machine tools are part of a specific manufacturing system, realizing the dream of mass repeatability, multidimensional features, customization, and quality at a level that was not seen earlier.

This course addresses the system engineering design aspects of CNC technology that includes but is not limited to:

1. Mechanical Engineering Aspects
2. Electrical Engineering Aspects
3. Electronics Engineering Aspects
4. Computer Hardware Engineering Aspects
5. Computer Software Engineering Aspects
6. Control Engineering Aspects
7. Aspects related to Ergonomics
8. Reliability, Availability, Maintainability, and Safety
