Computer-aided design (CAD) refers to the use of software to assist engineers, architects and other design professionals in their design activities. It is the main geometry authoring tool within the Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) process and involves both software and sometimes special-purpose hardware. Current packages range from 2D vector based drafting systems to 3D parametric surface and solid design modellers. CAD is sometimes translated as "computer-assisted drafting", "computer-aided drafting", or a similar phrase. Related acronyms are CADD, which stands for "computer-aided design and drafting"; CAID, for Computer-aided Industry this is very useful!
hello
CAD / CAM
A CAD is a complex robot that can do things that are not possible to do with human hands. It also makes most jobs proceed a lot quicker, and more accurately.
