CAD - Oh, you cad! This refers to the use of computers to design things. There are specific CAD programs like AutoCAD that are generally resource-intensive, requiring fast processors, lots of memory, and a big, clear monitor for best results. CAD has enabled people to easily model, create, and walk through or view designs of 3D objects or floor plans from different angles on a computer without actually taking the time to make a physical mock up. This is a huge time saver, and has revolutionized design in general. |
