Cad 5

CAD software has evolved from early systems that replicated manual drafting to modern packages that enable 3D modeling and dynamic simulations. CAD merged drafting and engineering roles and empowered users with automated generation of bills, interference checking, and calculations. Current CAD packages range from 2D vector drafting to 3D solid and surface modeling, allowing rotation and views from any angle. CAD is used in designing tools, machinery, and all types of buildings from small homes to large factories and commercial structures. It is used throughout the engineering process from conceptual design to manufacturing. CAD enables lower costs and faster product development cycles compared to manual drafting.

Starting around the mid-1960s, with the IBM Drafting System, computer-aided design
systems began to provide more capability than just an ability to reproduce manual
drafting with electronic drafting, the cost-benefit for companies to switch to CAD
became apparent. The benefits of CAD systems over manual drafting are the
capabilities one often takes for granted from computer systems today; automated
generation of bills of materials, auto layout in integrated circuits, interference
checking, and many others. Eventually, CAD provided the designer with the ability
to perform engineering calculations.[6] During this transition, calculations were
still performed either by hand or by those individuals who could run computer
programs. CAD was a revolutionary change in the engineering industry, where
draftsmen, designers, and engineering roles begin to merge. It did not eliminate
departments as much as it merged departments and empowered draftsmen, designers,
and engineers. CAD is an example of the pervasive effect computers were beginning
to have on the industry. Current computer-aided design software packages range from
2D vector-based drafting systems to 3D solid and surface modelers. Modern CAD
packages can also frequently allow rotations in three dimensions, allowing viewing
of a designed object from any desired angle, even from the inside looking out.[6]
Some CAD software is capable of dynamic mathematical modeling.[6]

CAD technology is used in the design of tools and machinery and in the drafting and
design of all types of buildings, from small residential types (houses) to the
largest commercial and industrial structures (hospitals and factories).[12]

CAD is mainly used for detailed engineering of 3D models or 2D drawings of physical


components, but it is also used throughout the engineering process from conceptual
design and layout of products, through strength and dynamic analysis of assemblies
to definition of manufacturing methods of components. It can also be used to design
objects such as jewelry, furniture, appliances, etc. Furthermore, many CAD
applications now offer advanced rendering and animation capabilities so engineers
can better visualize their product designs. 4D BIM is a type of virtual
construction engineering simulation incorporating time or schedule-related
information for project management.

CAD has become an especially important technology within the scope of computer-
aided technologies, with benefits such as lower product development costs and a
greatly shortened design cycle. CAD enables designers to layout and develop work on
screen, print it out and save it for future editing, saving time on their drawings.
