CAM is Computer aided Manufacturing and it is the first step between Designing something in CAD and taking the part off the CNC machine. It allows you to tell your machine how a part is fixtures, what size/type of cutting tool you are using, the constraints of the machine and it will generate a tool path to cut the part. For the most part it is not a hard of a process to do once you have the software setup for your machine.
