Cadcam in Education and Training:: Proceedings of the CAD Ed 83 Conference

This paper discusses the approach that needs to he taken by potential purchasers of CADCAM systems. It presents some basic points that need to be considered and also discusses the importance of the education of managers now that CADCAM systems are tools, not toys.
