Computer-Aided Design (CAD)
Computer-Aided Design (CAD) refers to the use of computer software to facilitate the creation, modification, analysis, and optimization of a design. CAD software enables users to create precise drawings and technical illustrations in various fields, including engineering, architecture, and manufacturing. It allows for the visualization of complex shapes and structures, which can be rendered in 2D or 3D formats. CAD improves efficiency by automating repetitive tasks, enhancing accuracy through digital measurements, and enabling easy modifications to designs. This technology supports collaboration among teams by allowing designs to be shared and reviewed electronically, streamlining the design process from conceptualization to production.
