On the part of the company officials, it was clarified what the solidwork program is, as it is a three-dimensional application that works under the Microsoft Windows environment. This program is used by more than 2 million engineers and 160,000 companies around the world, it is a design program approved by international companies and research agencies, as well. This program is specialized in designing three-dimensional geometric figures and is easy to deal with.
It was also clarified by cad cam engineers what is meant by the term cad, which is an acronym for computer aided design, meaning computer-aided design and making modifications to the design or performing analytical operations through it, to clarify what is meant by the term CAM, which is an acronym for computer aided manufacturing, meaning computer-assisted operation, so that the programming engineer has to choose the appropriate CNC numerical control machine, then arrange the manufacturing operations, and then the operating stages.
The officials in charge of CAD-CAM also said that they provide the most powerful training programs.
