CAD/CAM Software

Computer-aided design (CAD) software and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) software is used to design and manufacture prototype parts, finished products, and production runs. An integrated CAD/CAM system uses CAD software to design models and assemblies of a product and interface with CAM software that references and applies those models and assemblies created in the CAD software to program specific manufacturing processes, perform functional simulation that optimizes each process step, then drive the machine tools used to produce physical parts from the product designs.

Lithuania as EU’s springboard for investment: from Musk’s projects to the automotive and agribusiness industries

Membership in the European Union (EU) has ensured access to a single market for goods and services with around half a billion consumers. Investors are familiar with the older Western democracies, but the countries that have joined the EU relatively recently also have something to offer. Lithuania is particularly active in the geographical centre of Europe, and is competing for investments, both in relation to Elon Musk’s projects and for completely new greenfield projects, for which it is offering preferential tax conditions.
