This pdf for 2^nd or 2d and 3d

can be defined as the use of computer systems to assist in the creation, modification, optimization of a design. In this, we can create both 2D and 3D drawings used in construction and manufacturing. It was developed by John Walker in the year 1982 with the help of AUTODESK and maintain it successfully. It is most commonly used for creating and modifying 2D & 3D designs for professional drafting with detail measurement information about the conceptual design and layout of product, also available in 14 different languages with respect to location. Users can customize the CAD software with available add-on apps as per project requirements. User specialized tool setting can be done to view and design product in wireframe and surface modeling. Widely preferred in the industries of mechanical, telecom, civil, architectural engineering. It stands on demand to students and industries because of its requirements.

Reasons for implementing CAD systems

To increase the productivity of the designer.

To improve the quality of design.

To create a database for manufacturing.

To improve communication through documentation.

Before implementing this software, all engineers used drafters and sheets to draw design a product. It took so much time for a designer to design a product. If the manufactured product didn’t satisfy the customer need or the manufacturers found any errors in the product after manufacturing, then they need to change the design of the product which was a time-consuming process. The designer needs to change the design of a product by erasing or sometimes he needs to use the new chart for designing it.

Benefits of AUTOCAD:

It has the ability to produce very accurate designs

Drawings can be created in 2D or 3D and rotated.

Other computer programmes can be linked to the design software.

AutoCAD as an architectural planning tool: It enables architects to design, plan, execute and analyze the strength of a building, at design stage level.

AutoCAD as an engineering drafting tool: It helps engineers to design, analyze and solve design issues resulting in accurate designs.

In 3D printing: A 3D print has its own advantages for designers and for this software helps them. The designs can be exported to various preferred formats.

AutoCAD in the fashion industry: It has the tools necessary for planning designs for the manufacture of jewelry, toys and other delicate objects.

AutoCAD as industrial design tool: It helps to reduce manufacturing costs as it saves time and efforts required for manual designing.
