Information and Communication Technology

ICT in graphic design and production
  • Computer-aided design (CAD) is used to help design products and make virtual reality models
  • Computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) is used to standardize and automate manufacturing of products
CAD and CAM consist of input devices, processes and output devices:
Input Device           Processes              Output devices
  • - keyboard
  • - computer mouse
  • - scanner
  • - digital camera
  • - graphics tablet
  • - tracker ball
  • - CPU
  • - operating system
  • - memory 
  • - software
  •  - monitor
  •  - printer
  •  - plotter
  •  - cutter
  •  - milling machine
  •  - stereo lithography machine

ICT speeds up the design and production process by allowing changes to be made more easily. Designers can build simulations showing what the finished product will look like and how it will behave.
