The Cam Design Based On Further Development Of Pro/ENGINEER

Using Pro/Toolkit and parametric design technology to develop a software applied in Pro/Engineer which is attended to design cam. There are some inefficient aspects in cam design , such as a lot of work should be needed in process of getting the cam profile;It's hard to draw the cam profile without equation;Different kind of cam needs several kinds of methods to build. This paper introduces parametric technology and method of combination of Pro/Toolkit and VC++, which develops software used in Pro/Engineer .This software can be applied in cam design.The software adopts means combined with face to object technique and face to process technique, and it achieves the development of cam parametric design with the using of Dynamic Link Library(DLL).The software can be separated into several module, including user interface,cam classify, calculating and drawing cam contour ,cam solid build. This paper can supply a plug-in software of Pro/Engineer used to design cam.
