Source Codes: 03O372OOO Apr 83 148p Symposium at the annual meeting of the National Academy of Engineering (18th) held at Washington, DC. on November 4, 1982. Languages: English NTIS Prices: PC AO7/MF A01 Journal Announcement: GRAI8319 Country of Publication: United States This year there Is nothing more timely In the minds of many of the people In the field of engineering than manufacturing and what new technology can do for us. As you know, the new technologies are robotics. computers, automation techniques, and new materials requiring new processes. We have new design techniques available, such as computer-assisted development/computer-ass Isted manufacturing (CAD/CAM). We have been moving from batch processing to continuous flow manufacturing. This Is the main thrust of this report.
