CAD engineering is widely used to design and develop
products to be used by end consumers or intermediate goods used in
other products. CAD is used extensively in engineering process, right
from the product conceptualization stage spanning across most stages of
the manufacturing process.
CAD is used in almost all engineering
based industries like architecture, automotive, consumer, electronic,
electrical, machinery, ship building, aerospace, aircraft and
construction, to mention only a few. Architects use CAD to design
buildings while using the software package to enable drawings and
designs. CAD enables civil engineers and architects in a variety of
ways like aiding them in architectural, electrical, structural, and
interior designs, to mention only a few.
Engineering industries,
especially mechanical engineering based companies, use CAD in a variety
of ways. Right from creating engineering drawings to 3D modeling, CAD
is used in most of the manufacturing process. 3D modeling and
pro-engineering packages allow engineering companies to design products
or components for machinery, taking care of even the minutest of
details. The entire process saves time and money and ensures precision
and accuracy. With increasing sophistication in many industries, the
design concepts done using CAD are directly fed into the manufacturing
process using Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM) systems. Electrical
and electronic engineering industries use CAD for things like PCB
designs and wiring layout designs. CAD is also used to design the
overall layout of a manufacturing unit.
It wouldn't be far
fetched if one were to say that CAD has revolutionized the entire
engineering process. CAD engineering enables quicker product turn
around times, as a result of which we see more and more new products
hitting the market everyday. CAD engineering is responsible for the
advent of robotics into the manufacturing sector, with more and more
engineering processes being automated for increased accuracy and
production.
