cad stands for computer aided design bet u new =]) and cam is as u can guess.... its generally used to build things before you do like to test structures to see if they are stable that king of thing

Actually a CAD program is used to design anything from a simple part to a complex assembly. It is also used to generate a solid model of the part in question. When you finish with the design work the CAM program will take the part and this is where you generate the tool paths for cutting the part on a CNC machine. Once the tool paths are completed the CAM program will then run the tool paths through a translater known as a post processor which interpolates the tool paths into actual code the CNC machine can understand. With the material loaded into the CNC machine (with aluminum, steel, plastic, etc) the machine operator then starts the process and when completed you will either have a completed part or a completed component of a more complex assembly.
