CAD/CAM software allows designers to digitally design parts and send the designs directly to CNC machines for manufacturing. CAD is used for computer-aided design and CAM is used for computer-aided manufacturing. CAD converts ideas into 3D models while CAM turns the digital designs into machining programs that can be run on CNC machines. The use of CAD/CAM provides benefits like reduced costs, greater design flexibility, and faster production. Industries that commonly use CAD/CAM include mechanical, textile, medical, aerospace, and dentistry.
