Role of CAD/CAM in Product Design Optimization: Enhancing Precision, Efficiency, and Innovation in Modern Engineering

Abstract

Computer-Aided Design (CAD) and Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM) have revolutionized modern product development by enabling precise modeling, simulation, and automated manufacturing processes. These technologies play a crucial role in optimizing product design by improving accuracy, reducing development time, and minimizing material waste. This paper explores the integration of CAD/CAM systems in product design optimization, highlighting their principles, tools, applications, and benefits. It also examines the challenges and future trends associated with these technologies. The study demonstrates how CAD/CAM enhances innovation, productivity, and competitiveness in engineering industries.
