CAD, or Computer Aided Design software allows us to create, modify, analyse and optimise our designs with increased speed, accuracy, and any applicable documentation or files that we require for production.
With CAD the ability to model and design digital parts that can then be manufactured whole or broken down into components has seen the level of quality builds by both the average home enthusiast user and professional alike increase in quality and scale immensely over the years.
With the right skillset CAD design gives us access to a variety of manufacturing techniques without the time costs or restrictions involved in original technical drawings, or the limitations of a 'cardboard aided design' process.
This is because CAD models can also be used to create technical drawings or files to send to away for CNC milling, laser cutting and 3D printed production etc at a small or large scale via third-party services like eMachineShop, SendCutSend or Xometry (just to name a few).
