| Summary: | Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM) assumes to use dedicated software
for controlling machine tools and similar devices in the process of
workpieces manufacturing. CAM is, in fact, an application technology
that uses computer software and machinery to simplify and automate
manufacturing processes. CAM is the inheritor of computer-aided engineering
(CAE) and is often used conjunctively with computer-aided design
(CAD). Advanced CAM solutions are forthcoming and have a large
coverage, from discrete systems to multi-CAD 3D domain. CAM does
not supersede the necessity of human factor intervention, as production
engineers, programmers or operators, but intercedes the knowledge
of experimented manufacturing engineers by using performant
devices, while enhancing the competences of new professionals by
having access to latest modern equipment. CAM runs along with CNC
machines. The purpose of CAM-CNC system is to reduce as much as
possible the intervention of human factor, thus reducing human error.
The present paper follows to highlight the advantages of CAM-CNC system
on a 3D workpiece manufacturing. |
