AEC and CAD

Early versions of CAD (computer-aided design) were heavily focused on drawings for manufacturing. When combined with finite element analysis and CAM (computer-aided machining) software, the output of the drawings could be confirmed for structural viability and sent to a CNC (computer numerical controlled) machine for automated processing. Eventually, the CAM acronym grew into computer-aided manufacturing…
