CADCAMjärjestelmän

CADCAMjärjestelmän refers to a Computer-Aided Design and Computer-Aided Manufacturing system. It is a software solution that integrates the design and manufacturing processes of products. CAD (Computer-Aided Design) focuses on the creation and modification of digital designs, allowing engineers and designers to generate 2D drawings and 3D models of parts and assemblies. This digital representation is precise and can be easily manipulated, tested virtually, and documented.

CAM (Computer-Aided Manufacturing) then takes these CAD designs and translates them into instructions that a manufacturing machine can understand and execute. This typically involves generating toolpaths for CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machines, such as mills, lathes, and 3D printers. The CAM component determines the sequence of operations, the cutting tools to be used, their speeds, and the paths they will follow to fabricate the designed part from raw material.

The integration of CAD and CAM into a single system streamlines the product development lifecycle. It reduces the time and potential for errors that can occur when transferring designs from one software or department to another. This seamless workflow allows for faster prototyping, more efficient production, and improved product quality. CADCAMjärjestelmän is widely used in industries like automotive, aerospace, medical devices, and consumer goods manufacturing.
