There are several advantages of CAD/CAM over manual method of designing and production of garments:
1.The expense and time is reduced in a considerable manner when compared to the laborious manual work of designing garment[garment?:garment paper cutter machine].
2.Designing by CAD/CAM can be done from anywhere as the designers are able to control the process from remote locations as well.
3.The data processed by CAD/CAM can be easily stored, transmitted, and transported through computer files.
4.By CAD/CAM ways, digital swatches can be saved on floppy disks, zip disks, CD-ROM or hard drive thus saving space. Moreover they can be easily organized for fast and easy retrieval.
5.The designs by CAD/CAM can be easily customized and personalized as corrections and editing can be done at any time without significant delays or cost increases.
6.The designers don't need to produce swatches all the time as they can now see how a particular fabric or garment looks in different colors and shapes on computer screen itself by CAD/CAM .
