CAM

Idealogic’s Glossary

CAM (Computer-Aided Manufacturing) – a technology involving integration in software or in equipment that to some extent controls the manufacturing process which was previously carried out manually. Compared to manual work, CAM enhances production speed since computers are used to do what used to be done by manual work.

In addition to automation, CAM can be described in terms of accuracy and precise control to perform the tasks of production. Here are some of the numerous forms of CAM: Milling, Turning, LASER cutting, Electrical Discharge Machining as well as some other uses of CAM.
