Parts designed for automobiles must be accurate. In this article, we examine the differences between a CAD and CAM package, and how ZW3D's CAD/CAM solution is beneficial to the automotive industry. It is of little mystery why automobile manufacturers now utilize CAD/CAM solutions during the design process - there is no room whatsoever for errors as even a single deviation in data or dimension can make the vehicle defective. One of the lessons from this story is just how crucial precision and accuracy are during the design of automotive components. Have you ever wondered about the cost of an automotive design error? How about $125 million in punitive damages way back in 1978, with over 1.5 million recalls and a severely slammed reputation? That was the story of Ford's Pinto design defect. Find out the differences between CAD/CAM and how ZW3D solutions are used in the automotive industry. How are ZWSOFT’s CAD/CAM Solutions Used in the Automotive Industry? 19 Jan, 2022 By: ZWSOFT Co.
