What is CAD?
CAD stands for Computer-Aided Design, which is also referred to as computer-aided drafting. It is a technology used to create and design the layout of physical components in manufactured products. CAD allows designers to work with two-dimensional or three-dimensional space, as well as curves, surfaces, and solids.
CAD software for mechanical design uses vector-based graphics to depict the objects of traditional drafting. CAD (computer-aided design) software is used by architects, engineers, drafters, artists, and others to create precision drawings or technical illustrations.
