Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM) files are toolpath files that enable a computer-controlled machine - such as a CNC Torch Table or a CNC Milling Machines - to produce parts automatically by using the CAM files as blueprints.

Examples:

  1. CAM files for cutting steel sheet via CNC Torch Table - the Brick Press is an example - where DXF files are used - CEB_Press_CAM_Files
  2. CAM files for 3D printing - tubing for the Tractor Construction Set scale models - where STL files are used - see OSE Rapid Prototyping
  3. Cam files for model laser cutter cutting - DXF files are used - see example at OSE Rapid Prototyping
