What are the applications of CAD?

There are different CAD software programs at varying prices and are capable of a wide range of projects, small or big.

What is CAD

CAD stands for Computer-Aided Design, which involves the use of computer software programs to aid in the design process. There are different kinds of CAD software programs. Some are general-purpose while some are more industry-specific for users in the fields of architecture, construction, mechanical, civil engineering, automotive and aerospace engineering, etc.

What are the applications of CAD?

There is so much you can do with CAD software, ranging from building small projects creating floor plans, and creating drawings of mechanical parts to shipbuilding, yacht design, electrical, and automotive engineering projects, manufacturing, and architectural drawings.
