Definitions of
CAD, CAM and CAE
First of all we will look at CAM and finish
it! ->

I/C: Dr. Regalla Srinivasa Prakash, Mechanical Engg., B. I. T. S., Pilani

33

CAM well it needs a separate course!

We will simply define it!
Therefore, simply speaking:
CAM is Computer Aided Manufacturing, and may be
defined as use of computers, directly or indirectly, in all
activities of industrial manufacturing of machine tools,
people and the various other sub-systems
GM codes and APT (Automatically Programmed Tools)
are the most commonly used languages for programming
to instruct the machine tools and measuring instruments
Machine tools in the CAM paradigm, are freshly termed
as NC or CNC or DNC machine tools because now they
are controlled by 1s and 0s (binary system) that is a
computer program interpreted by a microprocessor
instead of the skillful hands of a machinist
