Computer-aided design in manufacturing
MODEL RELEASED. Computer-aided design. Engineer measuring a component with calipers. He is taking measurements for use in a CAD/CAM (computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing) system. CAD is a tool that allows objects to be designed in three dimensions and tested before they are built. CAM takes the 3D models generated by CAD and produces code from them for the objects manufacture by machine tools, such as lathes

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we witness the seamless integration of technology and precision in the world of manufacturing. The image showcases a male engineer, in his thirties, fully immersed in the realm of computer-aided design (CAD). With a focused gaze and calipers in hand, he meticulously measures a component with utmost accuracy. The power of CAD lies in its ability to bring objects to life through three-dimensional designs that can be tested before they are physically built. This innovative tool empowers engineers like him to visualize their creations from every angle, ensuring optimal functionality and efficiency. But CAD is just one piece of the puzzle. Enter computer-aided manufacturing (CAM), which takes those intricate 3D models generated by CAD and transforms them into machine-readable code. These codes then guide cutting-edge machines such as lathes to manufacture these objects with unparalleled precision. This snapshot not only captures a moment frozen in time but also symbolizes the marriage between human ingenuity and technological advancements. It highlights how modern engineering relies on sophisticated tools like CAD/CAM systems to push boundaries and revolutionize industries. As we admire this photograph from Science Photo Library, we are reminded that behind every groundbreaking invention or product lies countless hours spent measuring, designing, testing, refining – all made possible by individuals like this engineer who harness the potential of technology for progress.
