CAD/CAM Integration: Improve the Product Development Process

Product development has historically involved two divided processes: first, designing a product, and then manufacturing it. The use of separate, non-integrated CAD (design) and CAM (manufacturing) tools to develop products has created a communications barrier between design and production, resulting in cost, time, and quality issues, especially when design changes are necessary or manufacturability disruptions arise.

By using an integrated CAD/CAM solution, you can overcome the problems associated with the traditional disconnect between design and manufacturing. With an integrated CAD/ CAM platform, you can reduce cycle times, control costs, and improve quality, while simultaneously cultivating cooperation and collaboration between product design and manufacturing personnel.
