Computer-Aided Design and Manufacturing
CAD/CAM (computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing) refers to computer software that is used to both design and manufacture products.
CAD is the use of computer technology for design and design documentation. CAD/CAM applications are used to both design a product and program manufacturing processes, specifically, CNC machining. CAM software uses the models and assemblies created in CAD software to generate tool paths that drive the machines that turn the designs into physical parts. CAD/CAM software is most often used for machining of prototypes and finished parts.
Mollart Cox Engineering uses the latest software from Solid Works and Delcam and is currently running:
- SOLIDWORKS Professional 2017
- DELCAM for SOLIDWORKS
Our in house team attend regular training allowing us to keep our processes very current.
