The computer output is interpreted as [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G-code &#039;&#039;&#039;G-Code Commands&#039;&#039;&#039;] and these instruct the &#039;&#039;&#039;[[:Category:Machine Tools|Machine Tool]]&#039;&#039;&#039; which processes, with which tools and in what sequence it needs to operate to make the part.<br /> <br /> <br /> Computers and &#039;&#039;&#039;[[:Category:Machine Tools|Machine Tools]]&#039;&#039;&#039; linked in this way combine to become known as [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer-aided_manufacturing &#039;&#039;&#039;Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM)&#039;&#039;&#039;]. Often the computer output is generated automatically from a &#039;&#039;&#039;[[CAD|Computer Aided Design (CAD)]]&#039;&#039;&#039; to create a &#039;&#039;&#039;CADCAM&#039;&#039;&#039; operation which in turn may be part of a wider [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer-aided_engineering &#039;&#039;&#039;Computer Aided Engineering (CAE)&#039;&#039;&#039;] or [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer-integrated_manufacturing &#039;&#039;&#039;Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM)&#039;&#039;&#039;] enterprise and has led to the emergence of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concurrent_engineering &#039;&#039;&#039;Concurrent Engineering&#039;&#039;&#039;] practices.<br /> <br /> <br /> [[Category:Terminology]]</div>
