Abstract
“The User's View of CAD/CAM” will share the experience gained in over 50 man-years of day-to-day use of CAD/CAM systems. Six industry segments are represented in this presentation. In addition, a wide range of systems costing under $50,000 to over $1,000,000 will be discussed.
There is good news and bad news. All panelists admit to improved productivity and/or reduced design cycle time, but all is not free. You will hear about what it takes to operate and support CAD/CAM systems. Subjects include facilities planning, cost effectiveness, training, internal support requirements, and more. Here is your chance to hear practical and common sense comments about what CAD/CAM can and cannot do for you.

Computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM)
Encyclopedia of Computer ScienceSince the 1960s, computers have aided the closer integration of design activities with the actions required to manufacture goods, and the systems used to provide these aids have been called CAD/CAM systems. Initial CAD systems were directed at computer-...
