Computer-aided design
Computer-aided design (CAD) is when a computer system is used to create or modify a design such as:
- the layout of a kitchen
- the design of a building
- the design of cars and other vehicles
- the design of consumer products
- the design of clothes and textiles
Used extensively in the automotive industry, aerospace industry, and in architectural design to draw 2D and 3D designs. can be used to simulate a design in a 3D environment allowing the designer to have an idea of how the finished product will look.
This will lead to more accurate design processes, meaning less wastage. Amendments can be made to designs without having to redo drawings or rebuild prototypes. This saves the developers time.
Computer-aided design (CAD) makes design more accurate and efficient.
