CAM/DNC/CNC
Definitions:
CAM:
Computer Aided Manufacturing. A computercontrolled manufacturing process. A system using a computer to control a process. Systems range from three-axis NC mills to full factory automation DNC: Direct Numerical Control CNC: Computer Numerical Control. The use of a dedicated computer as a control system for an NC machine
CAD/CAM integration
The
CAD model data generated during the design process can be utilized further by the Computer Aided Manufacturing process. A good CAD/CAM system eliminates the need to manually calculate tangencies or to do the trigonometry required to calculate tool paths, saving valuable programming time. It also provides a consistent finish and predictable results.

EDM
The generic term EDM (Electrical Discharge Machining) can be applied to any machining process that uses an electrode to remove metal, or any other conductive material, from a work piece by generating sparks between conducting surfaces. This is being performed in a dielectric fluid to prevent premature spark discharge. Wire EDM uses a traveling wire electrode that passes through the work piece, the wire is, at all times, monitored by the machines internal computer system. This process can be seen as a very high precision band saw that can hold tolerances of +/.0002. http://mercatech.com/
