individual or collective purpose.

3. What is CAD/CAM?
CAD/CAM (computer-aided
design and computer-aided
manufacturing) refers to computer
software that is used to both
design and manufacture products.

5. increasing the speed of design and creation
increasing the convenience or simplicity of the
design, creation, and insertion processes
making possible restorations and appliances
that otherwise would have been infeasible.
reducing unit cost
making affordable restorations and appliances that
otherwise would have been prohibitively expensive
