CAD, or computer-aided design, has transformed design in many fields, allowing simulation and numerical data modeling in industries such as architecture, engineering, construction, product design and aerospace. But CAD is a broad term, so what are the different types of CAD?
You can see a general overview in our What is CAD? piece. If you're getting set up for computer-aided design work yourself, you might also want to see our pick of the best laptop for CAD and AutoCAD. But in this article, we'll distinguish the different types of CAD and techniques for CAD modelling.
