CAD: CAD is the use of computers for designing in simple language. It is also known as CADD, which stands for
computer aided design and drafting. In CAD, a wide range of computer based tools are used to assist engineers,
architects and other design professionals in their design activities.
Originally CAD referred to computer aided drafting as it was a replacement of traditional drafting board. But today it is
called designing to reflect the fact that much more can be done with the help of computers besides just drafting. CAD is
usually employed when simple drafting is not able to do the job such as in design of automobiles, airplanes, ships and
other industrial designs.
CAM: CAM is the use of computer based tools that assist engineers, tool and die makers and CNC machinists in the
manufacture and prototyping of product components. While CAD has many functions that do not necessarily involve
CAM, the same cannot be said about CAM, and in general, CAM is heavily dependent upon CAD.
Difference between CAD and CAM: CAD and CAM are both part of an over all important process that is referred to as
computer aided engineering (CAE). CADS and CAM have similar advantages and they render items in 2D or 3D. Both
CAD and CAM help in quick processing and production of any design that is conceptualized by a scientist. Most of the
CAM machines have inbuilt CAD software
What is CAD?
CAD if often defined in a variety of ways and includes a large range of activities. Very broadly it can be said to be the
integration of computer science (or software) techniques in engineering design. At one end when we talk of modeling, it
encompasses the following:
 Use of computers (hardware & software) for designing products
 Numerical method, optimizations etc.
 2D/3D drafting
 3D modeling for visualization
 Modeling curves, surfaces, solids, mechanism, assemblies, etc.
The models thus developed are first visualized on display monitors using avariety of techniques including wire frame
display, shaded image display, hidden surface removed display and so on. Once the designer is satisfied, these models
are then used for various types of analysis / applications. thus, at the other end it includes a number of analysis
activities. These could be:
What is CAM?
Computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) is an application technology that uses computer software and machinery to
facilitate and automate manufacturing processes. CAM is the successor of computer-aided engineering (CAE) and is
often used in tandem with computer-aided design (CAD).
Computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) is the use of software to control machine tools and related ones in the
manufacturing of work-pieces. This is not the only definition for CAM, but it is the most common, CAM may also refer to
the use of a computer to assist in all operations of a manufacturing plant, including planning, management,
transportation and storage. Its primary purpose is to create a faster production process and components and tooling
with more precise dimensions and material consistency, which in some cases, uses only the required amount of raw
material (thus minimizing waste), while simultaneously reducing energy consumption. CAM is now a system used in
schools and lower educational purposes. CAM is a subsequent computer-aided process after computer-aided design
(CAD) and sometimes computer-aided engineering (CAE), as the model generated in CAD and verified in CAE can be
input into CAM software, which then controls the machine tool. CAM is used in many schools alongside Computer
Aided Design (CAD) to create objects.
