CAM
Tech industry initialism
CAM stands for computer-aided manufacturing, the use of software to control machine tools in factories.
Often paired with design: CAD/CAM systems.
In medicine, CAM means complementary and alternative medicine—treatments outside conventional Western practice. (Lowercase cam is a machine part or camera.)
