What is computer-aided manufacturing (CAM)?
CAM (Computer-Aided Manufacturing) is the set of technologies and software tools that automate the generation of machine tool control instructions from CAD models. The CAM manufacturing allows complex machining operations such as milling, turning, drilling, and cutting to be programmed, optimizing production cycles, reducing time and scrap, and increasing accuracy. In industrial manufacturing, CAM is a key component of the digital flow, contributing to the transition to Industry 4.0 through the integration of design, simulation and automated production.
