    Introduction to

    Computer Aided
    Design (CAD)
    Computer Aided Design (CAD) is a powerful software tool that allows
    engineers, architects, and designers to create detailed 2D and 3D models of their
    ideas. CAD empowers professionals to design, visualize, and simulate products
    before physical production.
