Transmission by Hari Kunzru. Page 166. "Here was the future, arriving at mouse-click velocity, CAD/CAM sketches cloaking themselves in concrete and steel before his eyes."

 

Explanation:

CAD/CAM, which stands for computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing, is a computer system engineers use to design products, and then use the same machine to control the creation of the product. The products CAD/CAM is used to produce vary greatly, but one of the more popular programs used is Fabworks, which is used in the sheet metal industry world wide. Leading the way in CAD/CAM improvements and innovations are the features AFR, automatic feature recognition, and IFR, Interactive feature recognition. SprutCAM is one system that covers 2D & 3D milling, engraving, laser, plasma, water & stone cutting, and is used in North America and Europe.
