5 thoughts on “What is the difference between CAD and CAM?”

The difference between CAM and CAD is mainly in three aspects: function, application scope, and design effect: 1, different functions CAM are a type of computer -assisted design software. Can realize the CAM (processing manufacturing) function. 2. Different application scope CAD industry is basically used to produce engineering icon. CAM contains the function of CAD, and has three -dimensional modeling, welding, sheet metal, stamping (plug -in), rendering, motion simulation animation, finite element analysis, engineering diagram, CNC programming (plug -in) and other functions. Essence 3, the design effect is different CAD design, it can easily "top -down" design. From the overall structure, the sub -assembly, parts, etc. Errors are prone to errors. The CAM design is more intuitive and the solution is easy to understand; the 2D diagram is generated directly from 3D, and there will be no drawing errors. The assembly can be analyzed.

CAD Computer Aided Design Computer Auxiliary Design Generally refers to the application software and methods designed by computer. Used to design buildings, cars and other entities. One of the more familiar computer -aided design software is AutoCAD.
CAM Computer Aided Computers assisted production Generally, we can directly produce the integration software that can directly produce the finished product in the computer -controlled workshop after the computer design. Example, car design software UG.
The main difference is that different functions are a type of computer -aided design software. Mainly two -dimensional charts. By installing plug -ins, you can also implement the CAM (processing manufacturing) function.
