This new resource explores the use of computers in the design process of many products and applications. CAD is used in such wide-ranging industries as shipbuilding, aerospace, and automotive design as well as in the medical field and architecture. In addition, CAD is used in the film industry to produce special effects and computer animation. CAD is a part of the design and manufacturing of almost anything imaginable.
The introduction of this groundbreaking technology in the 1950s changed how many businesses approached design, engineering, and manufacturing. Initially used by only a small number of industries, CAD in the twenty-first century has become a part of nearly every facet of modern life. It is a valuable tool not only for engineers but also for artists, doctors, and entertainers.
