CAD CAM
Computer aided design
Computer aided manufacturing

In 1989 a client considered buying a CAD/CAM setup for their one piece of automation. $90,000 for the hardware and software. "You know small scale CAD is much further along than CAM! No we need them both!

Do you know you can AutoCad on a PC this week for under $4,000? They had it the next today and were creating drawings before the end of that week. Within 3 months it became a natural and valuable part of the engineering and production department.

It is 2007 and they still do not have CAM, glad they did CAD
