CAM is Computer Aided Manufacturing, and is associated with CNC machines (Computer Numeric Control). CAD is Computer Aided Design, which is making drawings and plans using software on a computer instead of on paper. There is also CAE, Computer Aided Engineering, which is computer simulation of physical objects and events.

How are CAD and CAM used in schools?

CAD (Computer-Aided Design) and CAM (Computer-Aided Manufacturing) are increasingly integrated into school curricula to enhance students' creativity and technical skills. CAD software allows students to create detailed 2D and 3D designs, fostering an understanding of engineering and architectural principles. CAM complements this by enabling students to translate their designs into physical objects using machinery like 3D printers and CNC machines. Together, these tools prepare students for careers in design, engineering, and manufacturing by providing hands-on experience with industry-standard technologies.


What is Batch Production and an example of how CAD CAM can aid this?

Batch production is the process of producing a set quantity of a set component, so not where you need 15,000 of a component, but a smaller set. This is desimilar to singular components which are better off produced by hand or a production line which is an ongoing process. Cad Cam can be used to quickly produce a design brief for a batch product, saving both time and monies.
