Re-grinding a cam, educate me please

I too am curious of the procedure. I am guessing they weld more material on the lobes and regrind. Just guessing. I'm sure someone will chime in.

No sir. They regrind the lobes on a smaller base circle effectively increasing the lift. They can "move" the lobe pretty much anywhere on the cam core they want.
