What is the difference between CAM computer aided manufacture and CAD computer aided design?
CAM is almost effortless. CAD you need to be around all the time.
CAD makes the designs of the objects such as the length, height, shape e.t.c. Also the output is mainly a file describing how some thing is to be made. This may be a picture or set of instructions.CAM then, with the help of instructions from CAD, makes the object i.e the finished object with the colour , size, feature etc.
Definition of direct production?
Definition from Financial Times Lexicon:
When someone produces all the things they need using their own efforts and skills, without the advantages of specialization (concentrating on producing only one product) or the division of labour (using different people to do different jobs). Direct production is more an economic model than a real production method.
Can ropes be made out of marijuana plants?
No, marijuana plants are a soft bush. Perhaps you are thinking of hemp (Cannibis Sativa), which is a plant of the same family as marijuana.
The difference between production engineer and manufacturing engineer and industrial engineer varies with both the industry sector and the company's country of origin/ parentage. A UK plant under American ownership uses American-based terminology to keep transparency in high-level management discussions (so large workforces have to use alien terms rather than a few managers/ IT staff learning BOTH jargon sets). Japanese firms and those extensively using their more recent concepts are more likely to include role descriptions such as Kaizen engineer, black belt, etc.
We have to dig deep here and fill in the background to the question, as its very easy to say "they are just the same" - but in at least some situations, there are clear differences that allows selection of the most suitable term.
In some instances, it will be very clear which is more strictly correct relative to the industry and job description. At other times, a role might sit right in the middle of the overlap between two of the disciplines, in which case the choice of the right description is more arbitrary and indeed a more descriptive title could be picked rather than have someone assume the wrong thing from these wide and varyingly defined jobs. Continuous improvement engineer, production systems engineer and process quality engineer are more succint than any of the 3 more generalised terms, while using language clear to anyone likely to be involved. As company size increases, and width of focus of an individual is constrained, the better the scope to use succinct terms.
Paras 1-3 below starts a relatively brief attempt to differentiate between, and show what is most typical among, each of the 3 disciplines.
Additional input, comment and revision is fairly likely as this is from direct experience - additional research may well yield further clarity.
1 A manufacturing engineer is most likely to be heavily involved in techniques like SPC/ JIT/ Kanbans/ Six Sigma, and a slew of more modern related disciplines which are vying for supremacy and try to be more widely applicable, with varying degrees of success. Reading between the lines, there is a tendency to apply new words to old thinking and muddy the boundaries between the compact and understandable manufacturing methodologies listed above. Six Sigma can have issues with its usefulness depending how it is applied, and what to, but in general, the mid to late 20th-century manufacturing methods have robust and effective implications that are best integrated in any new scheme, rather than sidelined.
A manufacturing engineer will be involved in general reporting of good or bad production data to management and liaising with shift supervisors. Whereas a production engineer will have more detailed collaboration with other engineers over specific issues (perhaps identified by a manufacturing engineer) that requires the longer term focus which a manufacturing engineer could not provide with the typical level of routine responsibilities.
2 An industrial engineer will more often be associated with continuous processes relating to amorphous product, such as rather than the production of discrete items with a specific shape. If the process is non-continuous, with discrete rather than bulk output product, the term production or manufacturing engineer would be more useful. Note it would be easy to confuse industrial engineer with industrial designer, the latter being about designing the product form and working on elements such as the user interface, requiring more artistic and human factors knowledge.
3 A production engineer will more often work earlier in the life of a product, managing the general development process and developing production equipment and product features in close conjunction with the dedicated product development team (eg mechanical, electronics, software developer and industrial design engineers). Product development input, specification of assembly equipment and in-depth analysis (eg FMEA) of manufacturing issues are more likely than a manufacturing engineer, who is there to minimise and handle more routine glitches, to maintain high-volume production. Design ability and more significant knowledge of areas like electro-mechanical integration would be appropriate for a production engineer.
What is the scrap metal value of a building?
This depends on many factors including the size nd height of the building, type of construction, types of metals utilized (copper, steel, aluminum, stainless, etc.)

Why is Research and development important in manufacturing industries?
Research and development (R&D) allows Canada to participate in new markets and industries, and lets Canadian businesses offer their customers new or improved products, processes and services.
Quote recap refers to a summary that usually appears at the end and repeats itself in a given discussion. The quote recap is used to bring certain things that were discussed previously into context.
What is the new shake and bake method of manufacturing crank?
=== === It's the same as the old method: just substitute the first part with two parts of the second part, and don't forget to whisk the eggs properly or the whole thing will collapse in the oven - possibly causing an explosion - and the next thing you know your face will be on the front page of the newspaper and the number of meth labs busted in your local vicinity will rise by one and the next thing you know this will alter the amount of tax increase, due to the effect of the growing meth lab problem in your area to pay for an additional task force to deal with this whole problem.
Did I mention that WikiAnswers does not allow the posting of answers to this type of question? Although we have some bright visitors to this site, we also have some who need adult supervision in everyday activities and who might just try to build or make some things that could be hazardous to them, to others and to the environment in general.
If you are truly looking for the recipe, go to the local sheriff's office and ask the clerk on duty for a copy of the recipe. They usually keep it above and to the left of the copier for quick reference. There will be a fee, of course.
The bit is called a countersink bit, but be sure if it's to be used in stainless that it is made from high speed steel (for metalwork) or carbide tipped and turned at a low speed. Use a good grade of cutting oil as a lubricant.

What can you manufacture at home?
Anything diecast would be very difficult considering the tools and equipment you would need, but I know many people that use sheetmetal to fabricate truck models, constuction equipment models etc. You would obviously have to have the skills and training and the equipment, but it is somewhat like carpentry, only with metal and soldering instead of wood and nails. You could also make toys out of wood and there are many people that do that. That ranges from simple childrens toys to more complex games, puzzles etc.
