Difference between cad/cam/cae
What is CAD Software?
Engineers and draftsmen use computer-aided design software to create
illustrations or 3D models. While most engineers should be proficient with
CAD, the amount of time they spend using it may depend on their specific role
and level of experience.
For example, in some environments, designers may be responsible for
creating the initial design in a CAD program, while analysis and release
engineers will review and analyze it to make sure there are no errors.
Best CAD Software for Engineers
Which CAD software tool is used can vary based on an engineer’s specialty,
the industry they work in or specific employer requirements. There are a
variety of highly specialized tools, with some software designed for specific
industries. A few of the popular CAD tools for professional engineers include:
AutoCAD
Inventor
CATIA
Fusion 360
NX Core Designer
SolidWorks
Creo 10
A 2023 report from market research firm Grand View Research also highlights
the growing trend of utilizing cloud-based CAD software, or outsourcing
certain design projects. However, the company expects continued demand for
3D CAD software due to growing adoption of 3D printing. If outsourcing
portions of design becomes more commonplace, engineers will likely be more
focused on providing conceptual design ideas and interfacing with vendors to
review final designs.
What is CAM Software?
Computer-aided Manufacturing (CAM) is commonly defined as the use of
software to automate manufacturing processes. CAM software is able to
translate CAD designs into instructions for machines, increasing the efficiency
of producing parts and optimizing the amount of materials used.
Best CAM Software
Because CAM is so intertwined with CAD, some software companies produce
both types of applications. SolidWorks, for example, offers a full-suite of tools
for CAD, CAM and other engineering processes. Similarly, companies like
AutoDesk offer combined CAD and CAM tools. Some of the leaders in CAM
software include:
Solidworks CAM
Fusion 360
NX CAM
SolidEdge
CAMWorks
Mastercam
What is CAE Software?
Computer-aided engineering refers to the use of software to simulate the
effects of different conditions on the design of a product or structure using
simulated loads and constraints. CAE tools are often used to analyze and
optimize the designs created within CAD software. Major categories of CAE
tools include finite element analysis (FEA), computational fluid dynamics
(CFD) and multi-disciplinary design optimization (MDO). These tools are used
to perform design iterations using virtual prototypes (sometimes called “digital
twins”) prior to building physical prototypes. This saves companies significant
time and money in product development while often yielding higher quality
designs that meet multi-disciplinary and multi-functional requirements.
CAE Software Leaders
There are dozens of CAE software tools used within the field of engineering.
A few of the leaders include:
Ansys Fluent
NX Advanced Simulation
SimScale
Inventor
HyperWorks
LS-DYNA
Matlab Simulink
The best CAE product choice will depend to some extent on the skills you
want to build and your specific career path. For example, niche products like
OpenFOAM are open source, which can provide a great deal of flexibility.
However, many users feel the software could be improved because it relies
solely on a command line and has no graphical user interface (GUI).
