Description
Computer-aided manufacturing is a tool for translating 3D CAD data to machine-readable instructions (G-CODE) that allows for a more efficient production process and more consistent quality of products [1]. It also enables the production of parts with complex (3D) geometry for relatively low costs (compared to manual machines) [2]. CAM software was originally developed in the 1950s to automate the coding of Numerical Control machines to save both time and labor costs.
