How It Works Old System (without CAM)
Product is designed with CAD software – Each
production machine is programmed
individually OR – if not automated : –
Employees are trained on proper production
of the product
How It Works New System (using CAM)
Product is designed with CAD software –
Product specifications are sent over the
plant network to each machine –
Machines have ‘intelligence’ to produce
the products without human intervention
