'''Computer-aided manufacturing''' (CAM) is the process of using software to translate your model (which you created with [[Computer-aided design]]) into a version the target machine can understand. Effectively, we write instructions that a machine can understand to fabricate your design. Some CAM software also function as machine control. That is, certain software can be used to generate instructions from a design in addition to moving machine parts and modifying settings.
== List of CAM software ==Certain machines require very specific software while other machines allow for a variety of software when creating instructions. CAM software used in DaBL include:
