CAD
Summary
CAD - Computer Aided Design is an invaluable tool for an engineer to produce accurate technical drawings.
Technical Information
CAD is the standard for producing engineering drawings in industry due to its ease in:
- Design – working models can be made with relative ease and speed.
- Accuracy – designs are made to the exact measurements the project would be on-site and can be scaled to different sizes.
- Adjustability – design modifications can be made easily.
- Analysis – Some programs can examine the structural competency of a design.
- Replication – a design can easily be printed in the size and format required, whereas with hand drawings this would be far more laborious.
