CAD simply means computer-aided design, while CAM means computer-aided manufacturing.

To better explain, from the word "design" in CAD, CAD is basically a computer software that helps textile designers to make garments, and the M in CAM means manufacturing, this means that CAM takes the designs from CAD and produces the actual garments or textile patterns. Textile firms use CAM to handle all aspects of the manufacturing process.

<u>Advantages of CAM and CAD.</u>

1) CAD creates designs and patterns with better accuracy and less chance of mistakes.

2) CAD systems save time and help designers to be more efficient, it eliminates the long procedures of having to redraw designs when there is a mistake.

3)  CAD makes it easier and faster to adjust colors or resize a garment.

4) CAM handles mass production of garments, it makes production faster by cutting several garment parts and sewing them in a timely manner. And, if a client wants to order a particular design again, it's easier to do because all the information are stored in files in the system.

<u>Disadvantages of CAM and CAD</u>.

1) Software Complexity makes it more complicated for first-time users to learn the software, coupled with the cost of training personnel in the CAD/CAM system.

2) CAD software uses a massive amount of computer processing power, this requires high-quality computer hardware which is often costly.

CAM, on the other hand, requires advanced manufacturing devices that are also very expensive, these are some of the biggest disadvantages of using CAD/CAM technologies, they are costly to have and to maintain.

¿En qué países de Europa tendrán<br>mayores problemas debido a la disminución de población?
IgorC [24]

Answer:

The vast majority of European countries will have problems because of population decline, with the ones in the eastern half of the continent being more affected.

Explanation:

As a whole, Europe is a continent that is having big problems with population decline. Just three countries in the continent experience slight population growth, while all others either stagnate or experience a decline. Now when it comes to birthrates and death rates, the differences are minuscule across the continent, but migration is something that makes the difference better.

While both the western and eastern half have low birthrates, the western, richer side doesn't really lose population but has a rough stagnation. This is due to the fact that it is an attractive destination for migrants, including migrants from the poorer eastern half of Europe, so the numbers are relatively static. The eastern half of Europe though, not just has low birthrates, but it also losses a lot of its population because it migrates toward the western half in search of a better life. Also, it is not very attractive for migrants from other regions, so it experiences a rapid population decline. The two most extreme cases in the last three decades are Macedonia and Bulgaria, each losing roughly between 20 and 25% of their populations.
