# Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM)

Canonical: https://www.capterra.co.uk/directory/34632/computeraided-manufacturing-cam/software

> Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM) software is used to translate a 3D virtual model into a precise set of instructions (typically G-code) that controls automated machinery, acting as the bridge between Computer-Aided Design (CAD) and physical production. The software works by analyzing a digital 3D model and calculating the precise spatial coordinates that a cutting tool or machine head must follow.
