Definition of CAD Definition of CAM
CAD (Computer Aided Design) system generate CAM (Computer Aided Manufacturing) is evolving as
accurately, scaled mathematical models based on user a central element in many productions. It includes a
input. Individual models are then integrated as broad range of process to be carried out automatically
components of an assembly to create the final product such as cutting, turning, milling, routing, heat cutting,
through which exact fit of the parts can be checked. Fully engraving and even printing of solid materials. After

any angle before manufacturing the product. which process, and how much time it is going take.
WHY CAD/CAM IS NECESSARY?
Today every coming generation is more fashion conscious so there is huge demand for new-fangled weave designs. With these
conditions designers have difficulty in keeping pace with the fast changing trends of the market. Some times they find that they
are not ready to cater the market needs. It is not easy to them to remain competitive, by merely depending upon the traditional
way of designing, because today’s design becomes out of fashion tomorrow. Hence they loose a share of market, so to keeping
pace with fast shifting trends of market computer aided designing and manufacturing is very much required.
It is well known phenomenon that human being is always in search of opportunities related to saving money, time and
comfort. Any textile industry will think in terms of improving the efficiency, maximum utilization of resources and
improvement in services for customer’s satisfaction. Search of these elements leads towards development and use of new
technologies. As the proverb says “Creativity is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine per cent perspiration.” but computers
have confirm it wrong. They have made textile designing simpler, faster, more precise and enjoyable. The designer can
create his motifs with a mouse or pen. Once the design is created, further process of editing the design i.e. clipping of certain
parts, adding new shapes, changing the shapes, distortion,
resizing, recolouration, color reduction, replicating and combining as per the need can be done at the minimum possible time.
Also, one part of design can be altered without affecting the rest.
The other benefit is its wide application in different types of fabric designing. CAD system can be effectively used for
designing Suiting/ Shirting, Sarees, Furnishing and Upholstery Fabrics, Blankets, Terry Towel, Carpet, Labels, Knitwear,
Bed Covers, Velvet and other. Various complicated weaves can be made easily, one need not to worry about the
complicated drafting and peg plans, and the effect of supposed weave can be seen immediately before actual production.

Global Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM) Software Market – Analysis and Forecast (2018 –
2024)
Global CAM & CAD Software Market Size 2019-2025 report covers emerging opportunities in the market and the future impact of major Key
vendors and Market driver and, support decisions in making cost-effective business decisions. The market report assesses key opportunities in the
market and outlines the factors that are and will be driving the growth of the CAM & CAD Software . The Global CAM & CAD Software Market
is anticipated to increase at a significant to grow rate by 2025.
In the world of CAD/CAM, it's all about facilitating collaboration. Get drawn into the latest developments that will allow these
tools to do just that:
Enhancing collaboration continues to be key in CAD (computer-aided design) and CAM (computer-aided manufacturing). As
companies' operations, competition and markets become more global, CAD and CAM tools are taking on more functionality and
thereby allowing for increased collaboration between departments.
Sharing data is a greater priority not just for companies that choose to move operations offshore but also for those that stay.
Through increased collaboration, firms can trim inventory costs and tailor more products to meet customers' specific needs,
thereby becoming more competitive. As they move away from producing huge quantities of the same product, just-in-time
manufacturing is growing in importance. In response, CAD and CAM vendors have incorporated tools that can help different
departments work closely together.
In particular, solid modeling—which depicts product designs via electronic 3D solid models—is taking off. Not only do solids
give engineers more design flexibility, they also offer realistic images of products and allow downstream tasks, such as analysis, to
be more easily integrated. What's more, solid modeling supports a decades-long push by the CAD/CAM industry to give
manufacturing customers "art-to-part" capabilities—bringing a design from the concept to the tooling stage in a completely digital
world. By implementing a purely digital process, manufacturers can foster more effective inter-department communication, make
better products and enjoy greater profits due to a speedier time to market.
Underlining the trend toward solid modeling is the rising popularity of value-priced CAD software, which has a per-seat price of
about $5,000. According to Massachusetts-based research firm Daratech, sales of value-priced CAD products are increasing nearly
twice as fast as those of the pricier packages. Their popularity is due to such features as accurate product representation and
clearance-verifying capabilities. Moreover, they're a big draw because they can facilitate downstream applications and, like all
solid modeling software, can allow firms to examine the impact of size, thickness and weight. "There's a lot of value to 3D and
engineers are migrating to it," says Daratech's Tim Hickey to Design News.
Another trend involves the use of non-CAD formats, including Adobe's PDF (portable document format), Autodesk's DWF
(design web format) and SolidWorks' EDRW (eDrawings), to exchange information. Two developments are driving this trend. For
starters, the trend toward globalization is leaving many companies vulnerable to the theft of intellectual property. In response,
many choose not to release native CAD files and instead opt for a data format that will deter information theft. Second, many still
doubt the effectiveness of digital signatures and are thus using representations that can't be edited.
Additionally, CAM software is continuing to improve at its job of interpreting digital descriptions and producing the instructions
for machine tools. Its growing functionality is making the jobs of programmers easier. In particular, CAM is becoming more
automated, better integrated with design software and increasingly user-friendly. For example, many programs can automatically
select cutting parameters, tools and toolpaths as well as incorporate multiple steps. In fact, CAM software is moving toward a
level of automation in which it will be able to effectively recognize features and thereby designate operations. In short, CAM is
taking on more, while letting users do less.

E-Commerce in Textile and Apparel-A FUTURE TREND
https://www.fibre2fashion.com/industry-article/4179/e-commerce-in-textile-and-apparel-a-future-trend
E-commerce is an exemplary concept in the future of textile and apparel industry. It is playing a major role in the
present scenario of textile and apparel industry. It is also very significant that the future of textile and apparel industry
is complete only with E-commerce. Diverse e-commerce applications are being implemented in the textile and
apparel supply chain. Information and communication technologies (ICTs) have the capacity to make extravagant
amounts of information available to users located in various parts of the world. ICTs also facilitate rapid
communication between them. One application of these technologies is in the development of e-commerce to
support electronic trading.
E-commerce can be specified as any form of economic activity conducted through computer-mediated networks.
The potential of e-commerce caught public's attention as a result of ventures such as the electronic bookshop. As
a result there are a growing number of other Internet-based retailers in the business-to-consumer (B2C) e-
commerce area. However, business-to-business (B2B) ecommerce is growing much more quickly than B2C forms of
electronic trading. E-commerce is a new and exciting technology, attracting much interest. It has the power of
fundamentally changing the ways in which companies do business. It is having a profound effect on the
management of the supply chain. Aspects of e-commerce are much diversified.
