John Maynard Keynes observed that, “In the long run we are all dead,” but in terms of economic analysis, the long run also may be dead. The culprit is new technology that is wiping out many of the distinctions between the long and short run. As pointed out by Alfred Marshall a century ago, the amount of time needed to adjust to changed circumstances has been what distinguished the two runs. New technology—computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM)—is likely to telescope the long run into the short run, and possibly even into the immediate market period. The key to the new technology, of course, is that it can be reprogrammed to perform a different operation, and this versatility of the new “programmable” automation distinguishes it from the old “hard” automation, in which a machine could perform only a single function.

Industry Training

This paper presents and discusses the results of a survey of the training of users of computer aided design and draughting (CADD) systems. The survey sample was taken from selected companies using more sophisticated systems so that both the use and the training for use of a large range of software facilities were covered. As with any new technology, CADCAM systems have necessitated their users learning new skills and this has to be provided by training. Training for CADD has significant implications for both industry and academe. Industry is often criticized for failing to train adequately and academe is criticized for failing to prepare graduates for industry. What is the appropriate training for CADD system users and what aptitudes are desirable? How effectively is industry training its personnel and how far should undergraduates be given CADD skills? These and related questions are discussed with reference to the results of the survey.

Fabrication of complete dentures (CDs) utilizing computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) methods has attracted a lot of attention. The purpose of this paper was to summarize current knowledge about digital CDs and the relevant technology, and to present the application of the new technology in a dental geriatrics case. Initially, some of the challenges regarding digitization of the oral mucosa as a supporting surface of the CDs’ intaglio surface are listed. Next, a brief introduction of the CAD software capabilities regarding CDs is presented. The latest CAM additive and subtractive techniques for CDs are following. Subsequently, the consecutive steps for the construction of a digital CD as part of the prosthodontic treatment of a 90-year-old ambulative female patient are presented. Finally, some considerations about the digital workflow in CD manufacturing are discussed. In conclusion, the new digital technology has clear advantages; however, implementation requires careful planning. The digital workflow is applicable and versatile.

Abstract: Generative Fluid in Fusion 360 is the recently launched cutting edge technology which is revolutionary for those companies which produces parts and components working on fluid. They always thrive for weight reduction and minimum pressure drop of their components along with no sacrifice at their performance. This can now be done by this new technology at their specified rate. But the cost of running one simulation is equitable for design which it gives to us. Keyword: 1. Additive Manufacturing, 2.

In the last years, both medicine and dentistry have come across a revolution represented by the introduction of more and more digital technologies for both diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. Additive manufacturing is a relatively new technology consisting of a computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) workflow, which allows the substitution of many materials with digital data. This process requires three fundamental steps represented by the digitalization of an item through a scanner, the editing of the data acquired using a software, and the manufacturing technology to transform the digital data into a final product, respectively. This narrative review aims to discuss the recent introduction in dentistry of the abovementioned digital workflow. The main advantages and disadvantages of the process will be discussed, along with a brief description of the possible applications on orthodontics.
