CAD (computer-aided design) software is used to create, analyze and/or change two- or three-dimensional designs and models in a digital environment rather than using manual drafting methods. Architects, engineers, commercial and industrial designers, and artists often use CAD software to make multi-dimensional designs and models.
It is widely used because of its many advantages over manual drawing. CAD software is faster, produces precise designs, integrates easily with digital workflows and enables users to amass a searchable and widely accessible library of designs and design knowledge.
CAD can also be referred to as CADD, or computer-aided design and drafting. CAD/CAM (computer-aided manufacturing) refers to the use of CAD with software that feeds data to manufacturing processes based on the CAD design.
CAD software is used to create, analyze and change 2D and 3D designs and models in a digital environment rather than using manual drafting methods.
