In fact, nearly any industry that produces a tangible product or device makes use of CAD / CAM in one of its many forms. While it’s common knowledge that CAD / CAM is used in AEC functions (Architecture, Engineering, and Construction, as well as in Manufacturing) it’s interesting to note that there are other less well-known areas that make use of CAD / CAM technology – dentistry and dress design, to name two.

For all of these reasons, the traditional “drawing board” has pretty much gone the way of the Model T Ford (although, if we really wanted to we could design a Model T using CAD, and even construct a virtual 3D model). This is especially true with 3D CAD, where structures and products can actually be built and tested in virtual design. Now, the design problems can be worked out during the design process.

Needless to say, this manual process was also loaded with costly trial and error.ĬAD / CAM software and technologies have made the whole design, development, prototype process easy, faster, and most certainly less costly.

This meant that designs were slow to be developed and the development of a prototype could be very tedious. We encourage you to contact us through e-mail or chat to find all the relevant info you need.īefore there was CAD / CAM, there were pencils and paper – in other words, all designing and prototyping were done manually.
