Manufacturers of The Future proudly announces the New Student CAD-CAM Contest. The Student CAD-CAM Contest offers student the ability to compete and win CAD-CAM software prizes by showcasing their innovation skills and submitting designed parts along with CNC machine toolpath programs that they have created. The goal is to award students with powerful CAD-CAM technology.

CAD-CAM software is a critical component of CNC manufacturing and metalworking due in large part to its ability to automate the design and manufacturing process. The influence of computer aided design and computer aided manufacturing technology can be seen in how we live our everyday lives as consumers. It’s used to help manufacture nearly every mass produced consumer product on the planet. It also has a very important role in prototyping new designs and allowing engineers to create precision parts quicker and easier.
All over the world, manufacturers rely on CAD/CAM software to turn product ideas into manufacturing realities. Besides CAD/CAM being an essential aspect of CNC machining today, it’s also the main reason why consumer products have become increasingly dynamic and affordable. CAD/CAM software makes part design and CNC machine programming much easier and dramatically reduces the time and money it takes to manufacture quality parts.
About three years ago, Peter Frykholm made a decision to get out of the professional rut he was in. So he did what most people do at that stage, he evaluated what he liked to do and what made him happy. For Peter, he knew he enjoyed mountain climbing and woodworking. Finding a career that combined the two might have seemed far-fetched for most but Peter was able to pull together a pretty unique business plan to meet the challenge.

Nineteen year old Easton LaChappelle isn’t your average teenager. At 14, his idea of fun was designing a robotic hand that he could control with his own hand through sensors and radio technology. Since then, his ideas and inventions have brought him face to face with the President of the United States, he’s fielded phone calls from world famous motivational speaker Tony Robbins, started his own business that is changing the artificial limbs industry, and he even works for NASA.
BobCAD-CAM’s education program, Manufacturers of the Future, announced today a contribution in support of the University of Manitoba’s Space Applications and Technology Society (UMSATS). As part of Manufacturers of the Future’s mission to provide universities and students access to CAD-CAM resources, BobCAD-CAM has made an important donation in support of the program’s involvement in the Canadian Satellite Design Challenge.
CAD-CAM software is proving to be a successful part of industrial engineering programs for kids at the high school level. The new Manufacturers of The Future program by BobCAD-CAM has just the right solution for vocational, trade and public schools at all levels that teach industrial engineering, CNC Machining and CAD Design by making CAD-CAM highly accessible to schools and educators that want to teach the latest in computer aided design and manufacturing automation technology. The latest success involves the Acton-Boxborough Regional High School in Acton, Massachusetts.
