Computer Aided Design (CAD) is the use of software to create precise digital drawings and 3D models of products. It allows designers to visualise and modify designs quickly, ensuring accuracy and ...

While it’s been around since the 1990s, model-based definition (MBD), a technique for semantically documenting the information necessary to manufacture and inspect parts and assemblies produced via 3D ...

A 30-hour course entitled ‘2D and 3D Autocad Modelling – From Drawings to Rapid Prototyping Models’ will start on July 1 at the Cad/Cam Systems Laboratory of the University’s Faculty of Engineering.

Use AutoCAD's "Extrude" and "Revolve" commands to turn 2-D designs into 3-D models. "Extrude" is how 3-D modelers to refer to the technique of stretching a 2-D shape into 3-D space. AutoCAD performs ...

Until recently, “dirty” or overcomplicated CAD data was the single largest obstacle to the routine use of CFD or other numerical simulations early in the design process. Although better translators ...

Working with 3D design tools like AutoCAD can be one of the most demanding tasks for a laptop to perform. The right laptop for such resource-intensive work should feature the combination of a powerful ...
