We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Computer Aided Manufacturing",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Manufacturingtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release CAM saves 60-70% in machining instruments from
EdgeCAM, which we summarised at the time by saying "CAM system provides efficient solution for machining electro-optical instruments for space applications, achieving savings of 60-70% on subcontracting multi-off orders".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release 3D CAM covers all CNC machining processes from
EdgeCAM: "For a prominent transmissions manufacturer, all necessary interface and data transfer parameters have been defined and the implementation of comprehensive CAM covering all CNC processes was reached".
In January 2008, we covered the news from Radan Computational
concerning its Radan and Edgecam software systems at FiFab
- take a look at CAD/CAM reduces jobs times from 4h to 30min
which says: "A sheet metal fabrication and engineering company reports that the latest CAD/CAM systems have reduced job times from 4h to 30min and improved accuracy and efficiency".
Take a look also at the news release from EdgeCAM, CAM speeds race car parts machining,
as well as NC programming increases output by 48% from EdgeCAM,
and NC part programming raises output by 40% from EdgeCAM.
