what does cam and cad mean?

Question

what does cad and cam mean its for grathics work so it has to involve in that

Answer 1

CAM - Computer-aided manufacturing.
CAD - Computer Aided Design

Answer 2

It's a type of computer software used for Design (and Manufacture) of products or solutions in many different fields. It could be used in architecture, engineering, fashion, interior design etc etc. It enables the user to create 3D drawings. The M component may be used to calculate a list of materials to make/build the design project. Typically CAD/CAM requires high-end, very powerful computer, and is normally used only by professional draftsmen or designers - not something you'd use occasionally for fun. There are many different products delivering CAD/CAM function.

Answer 3

CAD/CAM is an abbriviation of computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing.

Computer-Aided Design (CAD) is the use of a wide range of computer-based tools that assist engineers, architects and other design professionals in their design activities. It is the main geometry authoring tool within the Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) process and involves both software and sometimes special-purpose hardware. Current packages range from 2D vector based drafting systems to 3D parametric surface and solid design modellers. CAD is sometimes translated as "computer-assisted drafting", "computer-aided drafting", or a similar phrase. Related acronyms are CADD, which stands for "computer-aided design and drafting"; CAID, for Computer-aided Industrial Design; and CAAD, for "computer-aided architectural design". All these terms are essentially synonymous, but there are some subtle differences in meaning and application.

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. In CNC manufacturing the CAM system is used to simplify the machining and designing process. In most cases the CAM system will work with a CAD design made in a 3D environment. The CNC programmer will just specify the machining operations and the CAM system will create the CNC program. This compatibility of CAD/CAM systems eliminates the need for redefining the work piece configuration to the CAM system. In other words: CAM software usually comes with a machine such as a lathe or mill which is controlled by the software. The entire system tends to be extremely expensive.

Answer 4

CAD= Computer aided Design
CAM = computer aided manufacture

Answer 5

CAD IS COMPUTER AIDED DESIGN .. WITH THE HELP OF DESIGN SOFTWARES LIKE PROE , ANSYS, CATIA ,AUTOCAD WE ARE ABLE TO PRODUCE DRAWINGS TO REPRESENT AN INDUSTRIAL COMPONENT THIS IS CAD...
CAM IS COMPUTER AIDED MANUFACTURING WHICH TELLS ABOUT THE MACHINING OF INDUSTRIAL COMPONENTS TO REQUIRED SHAPE USING CNC MACHINES... THIS ALSO USES INBUILT PROGRAM TO COMPLETE THE MACHINING OF COMPONENT.....WITH THE HELP OF COMPUTER AUTOMATION MACHINING IS DONE TO SAY IT IN SIMPLE

Answer 6

CAM - Computer-aided manufacturing.
CAD - Computer Aided Design

(And you spell it GRAPHICS)!!!!

Answer 7

Computer aided manufacturing and computer aided design.

Answer 8

CAD=C.A.D. =Computer Aided Design
You are half way there.

Answer 9

'Computer Aided Manufacturing' and 'Computer Aided Design'

HTH ☺
