CAD/CAM refers to the integration of Computer-aided design (CAD) and Computer-aided manufacturing (CAM). CAD/CAM software is used to design and manufacture prototypes, finished products, and production runs of products using a single development tool.
CAD/CAM software is used to both design a product and program manufacturing processes, specifically, CNC machining. CAM software uses the models and assemblies created in CAD software, like Fusion 360, to generate toolpaths that drive machine tools to turn designs into physical parts. CAD/CAM software is used to design and manufacture prototypes, finished parts, and production runs.
Fusion 360 replaces fragmented design-to-manufacturing processes with unified CAD-to-CAM workflows. While maintaining communication with customers, suppliers, and internal stakeholders, you can create your parts correctly the first time and on schedule. Integrated CAD/CAM in Fusion 360 allows you to:
Now more than ever, you need modern, integrated manufacturing tools to help you remain competitive. Utilize the most cost-effective CAD/CAM solution available in the market to streamline your production processes. For professional designers, engineers, and machinists, Fusion 360 is the solution for all your CAD/CAM needs.
Fusion 360 extensions expand the functionality of Fusion 360 by enabling sophisticated machining, additive manufacturing, simulation, generative design, nesting and fabrication, and data management capabilities.
