International Journal of Computer Aided Manufacturing

International Journal of Computer-Aided Manufacturing [2456-642X(e)] is a peer-reviewed hybrid open-access journal launched in 2015 that reports new research as well, as a new application of the technology that could be of use in the ongoing research and in framing an educational ground for the students. The journal aims to cover computer-aided manufacturing software and the automation of machining processes.
