Computer aided design and manufacture (CAD/CAM) is a rapidly developing area of the curriculum in Design and Technology in the United Kingdom. Many of the developments that have taken place in the United Kingdom are a result of the //CAD/CAM in Schools// and //Digital Design & Technology// initiatives.

One of the principal aims i n both cases was to raise standards in the design and technology curriculum through the development of provision in emerging technologies such as computer aided design and computer aided manufacture

The **Centre for Design and Technology Education** at Sheffield Hallam University offers a range of training and curriculum support solutions in CADCAM for schools and colleges. This wiki has been designed as a resource to support our work in this area. It has been developed with the aim of enhancing teacher / trainee teacher expertise in CADCAM through the provision of high quality teaching and learning resources and associated professional development opportunities.
