CAD Model Information CAD or computer-aided design is the use of computer technology for designing real or virtual objects. It is used to design curves and figures in 2D or two-dimensional space, or curves, solids and surfaces in 3D or three-dimensional objects. It’s an important industrial art used in many applications such as automotive, shipbuilding, aerospace industries, industrial and architectural design, prosthetics, etc. It is popularly used in computer animation for special effects in films, technical manuals and advertising. It is often used in making tools and machinery. Many architects, engineers, designers and developers use CAD in the drafting and design of all types of buildings, from small residential ones to large commercial and industrial structures. CAD models are basically electronic drawings or designs made using CAD technology. Using CAD allows you to electronically adjust or enhance your designs. Before CAD models were possible designers and engineers used to rely on drafters using traditional methods for their designs. This took more time and money. But since the conception of this technology, many engineers started doing their own drafting work, eliminating the need for drafters and cutting down costs in companies. It’s not only faster and more efficient, it’s more cost-effective too. With the use of CAD, you can produce more realistic models, you can view it in any direction or position and even calculate physical properties of your drawing. They are frequently used to visualize various aspects of physical objects with computer graphics. CAD modeling is fast becoming an indispensable part of modern manufacturing, construction and design. Using 3D CAD models are far more cost-effective in developing prototypes and conceptual drawings. It allows users to locate the most economical components easily by translating the finest details. It allows you to manipulate and test ideas before manufacturing products. It also reduces the time and cost used for researching, redesigning and building different versions. Products are designed and manufactured with greater accuracy and they reach the market sooner than before. Clients have become more confident in investing their resources after viewing the accuracy and precision of CAD models. The CAD models’ popularity is due mainly to its competitiveness, efficiency and low cost. Most of the latest elaborate architectural masterpieces made use of CAD technology to reflect the genius of architects and designers. True representations of such concepts were produced for evaluation and feasibility assessment. All the complexities and other such building innovations were reproduced without missing a single detail. These detailed dimensional drawings were produced by using CAD. CAD modeling is a state-of-the-art technology that is precise, reliable and costeffective. It eliminates any redundancy in production. Failing to adopt this technology is a competitive disadvantage.
