Computer-Aided Manufacturing Market

Global Computer-Aided Manufacturing Market: Snapshot

Great strides have been witnessed in the manufacturing sector riding on the back of automation powered by advanced computing technology. Computer-aided design (CAD) is one of them and what is adding value is computer-aided manufacturing (CAM). This is a key aspect underpinning the evolution of the global computer-aided manufacturing market. Manufacturing companies in various verticals have trained their machines with CAM to automate their manufacturing and production operations on the shop floor. The technology offered in the global computer-aided manufacturing market are usually integrated with product lifecycle management software, thereby making it an integral part of the design process.

Key applications of computer-aided manufacturing include glass working, woodturning, metalworking, and spinning. Various solutions and services by vendors and providers in the computer-aided manufacturing market have gaining the attention of worldwide engineers.  

Global Computer-Aided Manufacturing Market: Notable Developments

Cost of acquisition of CAM is a vital concern for adopters of technologies in the computer-aided manufacturing market. Shop floors have been slow to adopting CAM due to the higher cost. To this end, a few providers have modified their subscription options to lower the bar for end-use businesses, thus opening new demand avenues in the global computer-aided manufacturing market.

• SmartCAMcnc has unveiled a new annual subscription option for their customers in the computer-aided manufacturing market. Of note, the subscription excludes up-front software license fees. The aim is to reduce start-up costs, benefitting the customers looking for low acquisition cost. Instilling flexibility through offering customers such a software configuration and deployment options is a key initiative in the global computer-aided manufacturing market.

Additive manufacturing for industrial users needs robust machine integration to make advanced use of computer-aided manufacturing tools. This helps industrial manufacturers enhance the design process and the overall product development process. In the computer-aided manufacturing market, the growing number of collaborations and partnership initiatives can be a key enabler.

Industrial 3D printer manufacturer, MarkForged, Inc., announced recently (April 2019) that it was contributing to foundation partnership program by Siemens, under which it will be collaborating on machine integration features. These features will help end users scale industrial additive manufacturing, a useful proposition in the global computer-aided manufacturing market. The effort is aimed at integrating Siemens’s software that notably include computer-aided manufacturing with cloud-based software of the other. This will enhance the performance of additive manufacturing systems by MarkForged.

Prominent players in the CAM market are SmartCAMcnc, BobCAD-CAM, ZWSOFT, SolidCAM, MecSoft, CNC Softwareh, Dassault Systèmes, and DP Technology Corp.
