Answer Question

1 Answer - Sort by: Date | Rating

    CAD most probably in reference to Computer-aided design that uses a wide range of computer based design tools used in assisting engineers, architects and design professionals. CAD is primarily used in detailed 3D and 2D drawings related to physical components as a part of detailed engineering. In architecture CAD is used for building engineering, construction, factory layer etc, in mechanical engineering it is used in aerospace, ship building, consumer goods, automotives etc. There are several institutes that offer training programs in CADs as a certified course.

    CAD can also refer to a number of other things including a term for Canadian Dollar, Central Ammunition Depot, Coronary Artery Disease, Current Account Deficit, Card Acceptance Device, Confined Aquatic Disposal, IATA code for Wexford County Airport etc.

    Computer-aided design (CAD) is the use of computer technology to aid in the design of a product, particularly the drafting of a part or the product—a part visual (drawing) and part symbol method of communications particular to a specific technical field. It is in origination, the use of computers to aid the art of drafting—the integral communications of technical drawings — which for a three dimensional object are typically represented by three projected views at right angles —drafting is the Industrial arts sub-discipline which underlies all involved technical endeavors. Current CAD software packages range from 2D vector base drafting systems to 3D solid and surface modellers. Modern CAD packages can also frequently allow rotations in three dimensions, allowing viewing of a designed object from any desired angle, even from the inside looking out. Some CAD software is capable of dynamic mathematical modeling, in which case it may be marketed as CADD — Computer Aided Design and Drafting.
