The Computer-Aided terms - Design (CAD), Manufacturing (CAM), Engineering (CAE), Process Planning (CAPP) and so on - remain in use, and tend to be used to describe the tools employed during the creation, analysis, simulation and modification phases of products and processes. But the CAx technologies are also seen as the 'authoring' tools of a broader Product Lifecycle Management environment for product and process information.
