CADD SOFTWARE - Application of CADD in Industries

Application of CADD in Industries

The number of CADD users in Malaysia grew as  a result of the construction boom in the 1990s. Ten of millions of Ringgit were spent in foreign exchange buying CADD software. Globally, this industry may have resulted in a cumulated amount of billions of ASD in the last 20 years.

CADD is a tool that can be used to design and draft activities. CADD can be used to make "rough" idea drawings, although it is more suited to create accurate finished drawings and renderings. CADD can be used to create a 2-dimensional or 3-dimensional computer model of the product or system for further analysis and testing by other computer programs.

In addition, CADD can be used to supply manufactur¬ing equipment such as lathes, mills, laser cutters, or rapid prototyping equipment with numerical data to manufacture a product. CADD is also used to create the 2-dimensional documentation drawings for com¬municating and archiving the design

CADD - INTRODUCTION

INTRODUCTION

CADD is an acronym for Computer-Aided Design Drawing or Computer-Aided Drafting Drawing. CADD allows you to accomplish design and draf activities using a computer. A CADD software package, such as AutoCAD, enables you to create designs and generate drawings to documents designed.

Design is a broad field involving the process of making an idea into a real product or system. The design process requires repeated refinement of an idea or ideas until a solution results-a manufactured product or constructed system.

Traditionally, design involves the use of sketches, drawings, renderings, 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional models, prototypes, testing, analysis and documentation. Drafting is generally known as the production of drawings that are used to document a design for manufacturing or construction or to archive the design.
