CAD/CAM Integration

The seamless connection between computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) systems, enabling design files to be directly used for manufacturing processes.

Why it matters

Integrated CAD/CAM workflows reduce errors, accelerate time-to-manufacture, and enable concurrent engineering practices.
