Computer-aided manufacturing
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Integrating computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) with computer-aided design systems produces quicker and more efficient manufacturing processes. This methodology is applied in different manufacturing areas.

Things taken care of by CAM:

• Verification of the data
• Panelization of the design to fit the raw material
• Ability to edit
• Ability to add manufacturing information

Areas of usage

• In mechanical engineering
• In electronic design automation, CAM tools prepare printed circuit board (PCB) and integrated circuit design data for manufacturing.
