The software can be quite expensive for small business owners, and anyone who wants to purchase it must either already own or invest in CNC (computer numerically controlled) machines which can also be very expensive. Owners will also have to invest in either hiring a computer programmer, engineer, or highly advanced machinist with training in Cad/Cam software. Training can be quite expensive for anyone who wants to either learn to operate the machinery themselves, or who wants to train someone already in their employ. Another issue related to training is that software errors and the software itself can cause problems including unintended results if not dealt with and used correctly.

Software is Expensive

Training is Expensive

Computer Errors are Possible

# data[].attributes.body
The software itself is expensive so initial costs are high.

Can be slower than traditional methods for one-off or low-volume production.

Staff need to be trained how to use the software and machinery, which adds to costs.

Computer-aided design (CAD)When a circuit has been finalised, a printed circuit board is usually designed and manufactured. Specialist software can be used to plan where the tracks, pads, strain holes and mounting holes will be on the PCB.The diagram below shows a PCB which has been designed using CAD.A circuit board has several features: strain holes, tracks, through hole pads, mounting holes and reverse text.CAD software can also be used to design the structure or housing of control systems. Software can also be used for writing the program used in microcontrollers. It is written in programme-editing software before being downloaded onto the chip.Advantages and disadvantages of using CADAdvantagesCan be more accurate than hand-drawn designs - it reduces human error.You can save and edit ideas, which makes it easier and cheaper to modify your design as you go along.You can modify existing ideas, which saves time.DisadvantagesThe software itself can be expensive so initial costs are high. There are free software packages though.Staff need to be trained how to use the software, which also adds to costs.Requires a PC.

CAD Is Flexible To Organize Drawing Information

With manual drafting, you can separate information onto individual transparent overlays. For example, a building plan might contain separate overlays for its structural, electrical, and plumbing components.

With CAD, layers are equivalent to transparent overlays. As with overlays, you can display, edit, and print layers separately or in combination.

You can name layers to help track content, and lock layers so they can't be altered. Assigning settings such as color, linetype, or lineweight to layers helps you comply with industry standards. You can also use layers to organize drawing objects for plotting. Assigning a plot style to a layer makes all the objects drawn on that layer plot in a similar manner.

In large-scale production, the results are consistent (always the same).Enables very high accuracy levels in large-scale production.

Usually speeds up production of low-volume products.

One of the greatest benefits of using computer aided design and drafting software is the ease of manufacturing. As mentioned earlier, the integration of computer aided design and computer aided manufacturing (CAD /CAM) greatly reduces the time required for production planning and allocation of jobs to various resources. Present day CAD and CAM systems have become very well suited to each other and in many cases they look as a single unit instead of two different systems.

One of the Benefits of CAD is to Draw to Scale

# data[].attributes.body
The advantages of CAD include: the ability to producing very accurate designs; drawings can be created in 2D or 3D and rotated; other computer programmes can be linked to the design software. With manual drafting, you must determine the scale of a view before you start drawing. This scale compares the size of the actual object to the size of the model drawn on paper.

With CAD, you first decide what units of measurement you will use, and then draw your model at 1:1 scale, should one of the main benefits of CAD.
