What is CAD?
Overview of CAD
Computer-aided design, more commonly known as CAD, is the use of computers in the design process across a wide range of different industries. It is primarily used to create highly accurate 2D and 3D models, but CAD covers all steps in the design process, from creation and modification to analysis and design.
CAD is a vital tool as it improves designers’ productivity, quality, and communications. It can also be used to create a database for manufacturing. CAD software makes it possible to visualise properties such as height, width, distance, colour, and material and build entire models for any application.
Architecture, construction, engineering, 3D printing, carpentry, and metal fabrication are just a few of the many industries that use CAD. Computer-aided design and drafted (CADD) is a less commonly used name variant.
That’s a basic rundown of CAD, but there’s plenty more to learn about this important technique and how CADScope uses these software programs to aid design, installations, and maintenance.

CAD is used to create precise drawings and models of objects and structures, either in 2D or 3D. It was developed as a more accurate, affordable way for designers, engineers, and manufacturers to design, visualise, and test models while minimising the chance of mistakes. As CAD allows for easy modification, documentation, and collaboration, it is a far more precise, efficient, and faster method than traditional manual drafting. Today, CAD has replaced manual drafting across a wide range of industries.
CAD software considers how the various materials involved in a project interact, allowing designers to consider every element, from plumbing to electricity. This results in fewer revisions and a more efficient workflow. Today, CAD software incorporates cloud technology, providing entire teams with instant, remote access to projects. These advantages mean CAD has had a huge impact on architecture, engineering, and construction, among other industries.

CAD Software
There are many types of CAD software out there, and while they all operate differently, they are all based on geometry. Every CAD program has X (horizontal), Y (vertical), and Z (depth) coordinates, which allow users to create 2D or 3D models. CAD programs typically use either vector-based graphics or raster graphics to represent drawings and models.
