(<em>Computer-Aided Design<\/em>) \u2013 computer-assisted design, used to model parts, components and complex geometries in 2D or 3D;<\/li>\n<li><strong>CAM<\/strong> (<em>Computer-Aided Manufacturing<\/em>) \u2013 computer-assisted manufacturing, which converts the digital model into instructions that can be executed by machine tools.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A <strong>CAD\/CAM software<\/strong> is therefore not just a drawing tool: it is <strong>an integrated platform that manages the entire workflow<\/strong>, from component design to machine code generation. This very integration is what makes it central to modern industrial production, whether you are working with wood, stone, glass or composite materials. <\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-text
