Computer-Aided Design (CAD)
• Computer Aided Design (CAD) is the
application of computer and graphics
software to create the graphic design of
any product from conceptualization to
documentation.

• Use of computer systems & software to


assist in the creation, modification, and
analysis of a design

• Defines the geometry of the design

• CAD invented by Ivan Sutherland invented


in 1961
Computer-Aided Design (CAD)
• A CAD system is a combination of hardware and
software that enables engineers and architects to
design everything from furniture to airplanes.

• In addition to the software, CAD systems require a


high-quality graphics monitor; a mouse, light pen, or
digitizing tablet for drawing; and a special printer or
plotter for printing design specifications.
Computer-Aided Design (CAD)
• CAD systems allow an engineer to view a design from
any angle and to zoom in or out for close-ups and
long-distance views.

• In addition, the computer keeps track of design


dependencies so that when the engineer changes one
value, all other values that depend on it are
automatically changed accordingly.
