Acronym for Computer Aided Engineering (Computer Aided Engineering). Computing applications, analysis or computer simulation applied to products and processes.

Acronym for Computer Aided Manufacturing (Computer Aided Manufacturing). Using computers to generate the user control of automated manufacturing machines, from a digital model of the object to be manufactured.

Acronym for Computer Integrated Manufacturing (Computer Integrated Manufacturing). . Integrated concepts and techniques of organization and management of production, along with new technologies for design, manufacturing and information, in order to design, manufacture and distribute a product that meets market needs with high quality, optimum application level of service and lower costs.

(Reverse Engineering) Process duplicate a part, component or assembly without plans or supporting documentation. It is part of a physical model and engineering methods of measurement, analysis and design to finally get an identical replica object or improvement used.

This is a simple machine numerically controlled (NC) or computer numerically controlled (CNC) with or without material handling capacity. The first are controlled by numerical commands perforated paper or plastic mylar tape, while the latter are electronically controlled by a computer built into the machine.

Acronym for Product Lifecycle Management (Product Lifecycle Management).
