THE CAD/CAM SYSTEM SELECTION HAS BECOME MUCH MORE OF A COMPLEX PROCESS THAN EVER BEFORE. THIS IS DUE TO CHANGING TECHNOLOGY, A WIDE RANGE OF PRODUCTS AND A LARGE NUMBER OF VENDORS. OFTEN CAD/CAM USERS SELECT A SYSTEM AND LATER FIND THAT EITHER THE SYSTEM IS INADEQUATE OR IS MORE THAN REQUIRED. TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM, A CAD/CAM SELECTION TOOL HAS BEEN DEVELOPED TO AID BOTH THE FIRST TIME BUYER AND THE EXPERIENCED USER WHO IS ADDING ON TO OR UPGRADING THEIR CAD/CAM SYSTEM. THIS TOOL WILL ASSIST THE SELECTION OF A CAD/CAM SYSTEM.
