Imagine being able to see every room of your new home or office, try different colors, and alter the interiors – before it is event built! Welcome to the world of CAD. It gives shape to your dreams and helps you alter them even before they are made real.
CAD stands for Computer Aided Design, also spelt CADD, meaning Computer Aided Design and Drafting. CAD is designed to replace the drawing board with a computer, printer or plotter and some CAD software. CAD draftsmen can use these tools to create drawings to a higher standard of precision and presentation than possible when drawing by hand. Draftsmen can also plot as many copies of the drawing as required and save it for future alterations and prints.
In the past, all of the designs, whether architectural, mechanical, or civil, would be made by hand on a set of blueprints or paper. These blueprints contained all the necessary information to correctly design the intended project. But the industry standard today is CAD. So in other words, there are a lot of blueprints that need to be updated or converted to CAD. This is where we get the term CAD conversion from.
There are numerous organizations where technical data is treated as a critical asset. Efficient management of this data is important for the functioning of the business. Similarly, for companies where blueprints need to be created and stored, CAD conversion comes in handy. Converting hard copy paper work to electronic format makes archiving, retrieving, copying, editing, and sharing of the drawings easier.
Paper-intensive industries and engineering firms, where blueprints are important for business, use CAD effectively. Architecture companies, designing firms, infrastructure units are some verticals where CAD has benefitted the companies immensely. However, as the technology is becoming popular it is being used in unconventional industries as well - office planners, surveyors, musical instrument manufacturers, police force are just some of them.
Specific industries have developed specialized applications of CAD systems. Below are some of the main industries using CAD and their related CAD applications -
CAD offers numerous useful features and capabilities including -
Apart from reduced operational cost, there are numerous benefits of CAD conversions:
As the marketplace evolves and technology benefits start affecting the bottom-line of a company, it is only beneficial to adopt innovative technologies to help businesses grow. Advantages of time, quality of work, reduction in costs are reasons enough for a company to throw away blueprints and adopt CAD. The fact that most production machinery gathers its design information from CAD is another contributing factor leading to CAD conversions.
