managing data in productdevelopment and its links with analysis are also critical. A deep appreciation of Design forManufacture and Assembly is also necessary to ensure that modeling reflects shapes that can becost effectively created and that drawings capture appropriate information to convey thismeaning. Practioners must be adaptable to different modeling environments and be able tocustomize and integrate CAD systems with other engineering tools for greater efficiency.Programming and operation of advanced CNC systems particularly those that utilize 5-axiskinematics and combine turning and milling functions are essential.
