CAD
Computer software usually used to create digital 2D/3D models.
Uses
Computer Aided Design, also known as CAD is the use of computers to aid in design, creation, modification, analysis or optimization. CAD software is a quality of life tool that speeds up processes for every task that would require a drawing or model.
CAD software is used in almost every field today by engineers, architects and construction managers. CAD software can be modeling in either 2D or 3D depending on what the needs are.
CAD revolutionized the construction and production industry in many ways. Beforehand changes to a plan would have to be remade by hand and every old copy would have to be replaced. By having your files digitally and in the cloud you can simply edit that one file.
Training your CAD capabilities will be a great tool to bring with you on your mechatronics journey no matter if you are a novice or an expert in mechantronics and prototyping.
