COMPUTER AIDED DESIGN (2nd Edition)

Computer-aided design (CAD) is the use of computer systems used to increase the productivity of the designer, improve the quality of design, improve communications through documentation, and to create a database for manufacturing. CAD (computer-aided design) models have changed the way the manufacturing industry designs and manufactures parts. There’s no doubt that since CAD technology, there has been a huge turning point for the better. Before CAD, designers used paper, pencils, rulers, compasses, and other tools to go about their drafting. It was cumbersome, time consuming, and a nuisance at times especially when there were changes being made to the design.

This comprehensive Second Edition of ‘Computer Aided Design’ aims to study advantages and disadvantages of this trend and to find a balance level. In the engineering world, CAD is extremely important and widely used to design and develop products to be used by consumers. This knowledge is a hot commodity for those employing engineers, because of its benefits in the engineering workplace. This handy Edition will be important to everyone interested in the design process from concept creation to manufacture and beyond.
