- CAM is a subsequent tool implemented after the CAD. CAM is for the precise manufacturing process while CAD is for designing the PCB. Generally, CAM is implemented by the manufacturer whereas CAD (PCB designing tool) is implemented by the design engineers.
- CAM software supports both prototyping and line production. The primary aim is numerically controlled drilling and component insertion. In numerical control, a computer-based controller translates a sequential list of codes into instructions that can be understood by the machine tools.
- The whole concept can be summarized as computer-assisted manufacturing. When all the design parameters are fulfilled, the design will be put into production.
