Abstract

In recent years, computer-based graphic knowledge has evolved and become the most common trend. The computer-aided design would be used by the designers to generate design concepts and draft documents (CAD). Computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) is the use of computer-based software tools to assist engineers in the production of goods. The designers would use computer-aided design (CAD) to create a product. The concept would then be converted into hardware using computer-aided manufacturing on the same computer (CAM). These two technologies are merged into unified CAD/CAM systems, in which a specification is created in a CAD system and the production process is managed in a single system from start to finish in CAM. CAD/CAM systems are often used in computer-aided design, which is the use of a computer to create, modify, and analyze a design. This article aims to provide an overview of the computer-aided design and manufacturing processes in various sectors.
