A Short Introduction to the World of CAD

But what is 3D Computer-Aided Design (otherwise known as CAD)?

3D Computer-aided design is the use of computers to aid in the creation, modification, analysis, or optimization of a design. CAD software is used to increase the productivity of the designer, improve the quality of design, improve communications through documentation, and to create a documentation archive for manufacturing.

Today a knowledge of 3D CAD is a requirement for the mechanical design engineer.

But all CAD systems are not alike, the major CAD systems offer an overly complex world of 3D model creation. IronCAD unique paradigm offers much more flexibility in modeling and "what if" scenarios.
