Computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology is used to
design and manufacture products using digital technologies. The term CAD/CAM implies that an engineer can use the system for designing a product and for controlling
manufacturing processes. CAM procedures use manufacturing methods, the goal of which
is to convert existing CAD data directly and fast without manual detours or forms
in the workflow. For example, once a design has been produced with the CAD component,
the design itself can control the machines that construct the object. This technology
is widely used today in many different industries.
