A sample from this course

One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

CAD and CAM fundamentals

CAD (Computer‑Aided Design) and CAM (Computer‑Aided Manufacturing) are the twin pillars of modern engineering design and production. CAD provides a digital environment to create, modify and analyse geometric models, while CAM translates those models into machine‑readable instructions for fabrication.
