Computer-aided manufacturing energy consumption. CAM is now a system used in schools and lower educational purposes. CAM is a subsequent computer-aided process after computer-aided design (CAD) and sometimes computer-aided engineering (CAE), as the model generated in CAD and verified in CAE can be input into CAM software, which then controls the machine tool. CAM is used in many schools alongside Computer-Aided Design (CAD) to create objects. Traditionally, CAM has been considered as a numerical control (NC) programming tool, where in two-dimensional (2-D) or three-dimensional (3-D) models of components generated in CAD. As with other “Computer-Aided” technologies, CAM does not eliminate the need
Computer-assisted surgery time. There are several disadvantages of computer-assisted surgery. A major disadvantage of this system is their cost. With a price tag of a million dollars , their cost is nearly prohibitive. Some people believe that improvements in technology, such as haptics, increased processor speeds, and more complex and capable software will increase the cost of these systems. Another disadvantage is the size of these systems. These systems have relatively large footprints and relatively cumbersome robotic arms. This is an important disadvantage in today's already crowded-operating rooms. It may be difficult for both the surgical team and the robot to fit
