Computer-aided design and manufacture (CAD/CAM) has been a major area of application for computer graphics and computational geometry, and has provided much of the motivation for the field of geometric modeling. The link between design and manufacturing is generally recognized as important, but it depends strongly on the manufacturing processes to be used. Much has been written about CAD/CAM for machining and other traditional manufacturing processes. This article introduces an unusual process that is especially suited for the manufacture of nanostructures from the bottom up and discusses how to convert a CAD specification into the required manufacturing instructions.
