Computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) refers to the use of software and computer-controlled machinery to automate a manufacturing process and to make it less time-consuming and efficient. Its primary objective is to create a faster manufacturing process and components and tooling with more precise dimensions and consistency in materials. Three components are required for the CAM system to function firstly a software that tells a machine how to make a product, secondly machinery that receives the command and can turn raw material into a product, and lastly post-processing that converts toolpaths into a language that the machine can understand. CAM is widely used around the world but still has many places to grow.
