Abstract
The paper describes computer aided design and manufacture and its effectiveness for the production of avionic components. A recent development is the generation of machining parameters from the input of the geometry of the component. The advantage of group technology machining cells are discussed together with the use of computerized inspection and computerized production control. The effect of the complete integration of design and manufacture with a high investment in computer aids is illustrated by three case studies.
