CAM (Computer-Aided Manufacturing)
Computer-Aided Manufacturing
Use of software to generate manufacturing instructions, toolpaths or machine programs from product data.
Examples
- 01The CNC programmer uses CAM to generate the toolpath for a new mould insert directly from the 3D model.
- 02Before the pilot run, CAM simulations are reviewed to detect collisions between the tool and the fixture.
- 03When the drawing changes, the CAM programme is updated and verified before any new parts are machined.
