In the era of Industry 4.0, Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM) has become an integral part of modern production systems. From automotive components to high-precision tooling, CAM software enables manufacturers to achieve faster, more accurate, and cost-effective results. However, as automation and digital technologies continue to advance, a key question arises:Can CAM and automated quality management systems fully replace human inspection? This discussion is particularly relevant for industries operating in Vietnam’s fast-growing manufacturing sector, where companies—both local and international—are seeking to balance efficiency, cost, and quality in a highly competitive environment. 1. The Role of CAM in Modern Manufacturing Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM)...
In the era of Digital Transformation in Manufacturing, most companies are asking the same question: “Is CAM truly a mandatory step?” The answer isn’t as simple as “Yes” or “No.”It depends on each manufacturer’s production goals, level of automation, and digital value chain maturity. For some, CAM is an optional optimization tool.For others, especially those striving for smart, data-driven production, it’s a critical foundation for achieving true digital transformation. 1. What is CAM and Why It Matters In simple terms, CAM is the technology that uses computer software to control manufacturing machines.It converts 3D CAD models into CNC programs or...
