CAD stands for computer-aided design and focuses on creating 2D drawings and 3D models. CAM is computer-aided manufacturing, which uses design data to support fabrication and production processes. CAE means computer-aided engineering and is used for analysis, simulation, and performance testing. Together, they form a connected workflow from concept development to validation and manufacturing.
