Cad/Cam Software

CAD/CAM Software is used for component design and manufacture. CAD is an acronym for Computer-Aided Design and can refer to any number of software tools used to produce detailed digital drawings and models of components. CAM is an acronym for Computer-Aided Manufacturing and typically refers to software used to graphically design tool paths for a CNC (Computed Numerically Controlled) Machine. While CAD and CAM are historically discrete software tools, modern software often integrates the two functions into a single interface, referred to as integrated CAD/CAM, or simply CAD/CAM.
