Abstract
The world is a growing place with great technological advancement in all areas of life. For
some decades now, various disciplines and industries have been engaged in using
Computer-Aided Design/Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAD/CAM) across different
nations. CAD/CAM utilizes computers to integrate design and manufacturing processes
for quality product attainment. This review article examined the present impacts of
CAD/CAM on some sectors such as architecture, manufacturing, engineering and design,
electronics, automobile, shipbuilding, aerospace, and medicine. Highlights on some
applications and future impacts of CAD/CAM have also been discussed. The numerous
impacts of CAD/CAM are discussed in the study. It was concluded that CAD/CAM had
become integral parts of our world to ease production against traditional methods. The
study recommended more research focus on biomaterials for 3-D bioprinting for tissue
engineering applications.
