Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM) is a technology that uses computer software and hardware to automate and optimize the manufacturing of products. CAM systems allow engineers and manufacturers to convert computer models of parts or products directly into manufacturing instructions that can be understood by CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machines and other automated manufacturing equipment.
By using CAM, companies can increase production speed, improve quality and reduce production costs. CAM optimizes the manufacturing process by optimizing machine setup, tool paths and material usage. In addition, CAM enables the production of complex and precise parts that would otherwise be difficult to manufacture manually. In the modern manufacturing landscape, CAM is an indispensable tool that helps companies stay competitive and bring innovative products to market efficiently.
