What is a Cad/Cam program...?
(OP)
What is Cad/Cam...what is it used for...I'm not exactly sure on the definition of this. I currently work in the engineering department for a manufacturing company. I work with AutoCad2004, StoneCam (the software that comes with the MasterStone CNC Machine) and WoodWop 4.5 (software that comes with the Weeke CNC Machine)...are these consider to be Cad/Cam softwares or programs?? Please advice, thank you

CAM = Computer Aided Manufacturing

Your other two programs associated with CNC are CAM, since they are involved with manufacturing of objects.
Presumably, you feed DXF files or something similar from Autocad to your two CNC applications, which take the design data from Autocad and convert it to machining instructions for the CNC machine.

I'd do a websearch on "stone cnc software" and see if that gets you anywhere. It seems to be a highly specialized arena, since the user forums appear to have few visitors:
