what is the function  computer aided manufacturing system
Computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) denotes the use of computer systems to perform. functions related to manufacturing engineering, such as process planning and numerical. control part programming. Some computer systems perform both CAD and CAM, and so the. term CAD/CAM is used to indicate the integration of the two into one system. Computer-. integrated manufacturing includes CAD/CAM, but it also includes the firmâs business. functions that are related to manufacturing [1].
CIM is a combination of different applications and technologies like CAD, CAM, computer-aided engineering, robotics, manufacturing resource planning and enterprise management solutions. It can also be considered as an integration of all enterprise operations that work with a common data repository.
