![]() ![]() It is important to recognize that the solid CAD model is “the source of the design database and is the authority from which all other CAD outputs flow”. Further, the solid CAD model is almost always used to produce essential secondary outputs including technical drawings, bill of material, renderings, finite element analyses, animations, and more. This primary output, which is a computer file (or set of files), is indispensable for visualizing and evolving a design. The Solid CAD Model, is the primary output of CAD. CAD’s semi-automated way of creating technical drawings is still a major plus.Īlthough the words computer-aided design, could be so broadly interpreted as to mean using any computer technology such as email, word processors, and spreadsheets, CAD refers specifically to the use of commercial software for creating accurate geometric digital representations of three-dimensional objects such as gears, shafts, enclosures, etc. While CAD was originally developed to partially automate the time-intensive manual drafting process, its greatest benefit now lies in facilitating design iteration and enabling distributed design collaboration. ![]()
