However, there is a distinct relationship between the two systems where data is exchanged between each system in a CAD/CAM set-up. Cam systems cover activities that translate the design of a component into instructions that define how the component will be produced. Also, CAM can be extended into providing feedback on the manufacturing process through the use of inspection and...
