CAD (Computer-Aided Design)

Computer-Aided Design (CAD) refers to the use of specialised software for creating technical drawings, 3D models and structural designs. CAD technology is widely applied in architecture, engineering, mechanical design and manufacturing.

CAD tools, such as AutoCAD, enable precise modelling, simulation and visualisation, making it easier to review and optimise designs before physical production. These tools support multiple file formats and allow for parametric modelling and rendering. With CAD, designers can produce detailed 2D and 3D representations that improve communication and reduce errors throughout various project stages.
