CAD/CAM stands for Computer Aided Design

CAD/CAM stands for Computer Aided Design and Computer Aided Manufacturing.  If you are interested in computers, drawing and designing, programming, and seeing projects come to life, then this career program is for you.  In this 1 or 2-year career program, you will use a variety of CAD/CAM software to design projects in 2D and 3D.  These projects can then be made on one of two CNC machines or on a laser printer/engraver.  Stop by room 142 to see examples of what students are currently working on and to get some great ideas about what kinds of exciting projects you could do in CAD/CAM Technologies.
