Computer aided design (CAD)/computer-aided manufacture (CAM) programs have been developed to carry out the necessary calculations. One current system known as Polyflow is offered by a Belgian organisation (Polyflow SA). Polyflow can be used to calculate three-dimensional flow and die swell, using finite element analysis. Other systems are available. 

Any on-line process control model used for computer-aided manufacturing of high-performance composite laminates must include a thorough treatment of void stability and growth as well as resin transport. These two key components, along with a heat transfer model and additional chemorheological information on kinetics and material properties, should permit optimized production of void-free, controlled-thickness parts. A number of advances have been made toward this goal.

Large complex shapes require computer aided design and computer-aided manufacturing to fit the anatomical constraints. Mechanical strength has been optimized in terms of curvature, thickness, width, and porosity (Ono et al. 1998) and further employed for large complex cranial bone defects (Ono et al. 1999). The porosity serves the purpose for bone ingrowth, as explained in the next section. 

Medium-complexity applications include network-integrated editing and publishing, networked logistics and inventory control, CAD (computer aided design), CAM (computer aided manufacturing), etc.
