CAM stands for Computer-Aided Manufacturing. It is the use of computer software and hardware to automate and streamline manufacturing processes. CAM systems use computer programs to control machines and equipment in factories to manufacture products. The process starts with a CAD (Computer-Aided Design) file created by an engineer, which is then converted into instructions for the machine to follow in order to create the desired product. CAM systems can automate and optimize many different manufacturing processes, including cutting, drilling, milling, turning, and welding. This technology has revolutionized the way that factories operate, making them faster, more efficient, and more flexible.
