Computer-aided design (CAD) has revolutionized the way design professionals approach innovation and efficiency. From the initial conceptualization phase to the final realization, CAD empowers designers to push boundaries and drive progress across industries. This cutting-edge technology serves as a canvas for creativity, enabling intricate visualizations, iterative refinements, and seamless collaboration. Since introducing CAD to our lineup in 2005, Pro Draft has greatly improved both the speed and quality of all our services.
With its versatility spanning disciplines like architecture, automotive, and electronics, CAD unlocks new realms of possibility. It streamlines design processes, facilitates integration with advanced technologies like 3D printing and virtual reality, and ultimately transforms ideas into tangible realities. In an era where innovation is paramount, CAD stands as an indispensable tool, allowing design professionals to shape the world around us with unparalleled precision and artistry.
How It Works
In years past, drafters would take a client’s requirements and create drawings of their building project by hand. CAD allows drafters to create digital renderings of the project, and make edits and changes much easier than with hand-drawn plans.
Drafting with CAD software is much easier, faster, and more complete than hand-drafting. CAD software offers more sophisticated modeling in either two-dimensional (2D) or three-dimensional (3D) formats. CAD drafting is used in a variety of applications besides architecture, such as entertainment.
Of course, CAD drafters must have a strong understanding of drafting standards, building codes, engineering principles, and the specific CAD software being used. Their drawings serve as the blueprints for construction projects.
Benefits of CAD
There are several benefits to using CAD for drafting, such as:
• Collaboration: easier sharing and collaboration on projects.
• Efficiency: speeds up the drafting process and allows for easy modifications.
• Precision and Accuracy: highly accurate measurements and details.
• Standardization: adherence to industry standards and practices.
• Visualization: 3D modeling and rendering capabilities offer better visualization.
Increased productivity with simpler modifications lets firms put out a quality product faster than before. Additionally, the designs are of higher quality and allow a team to easily make necessary changes before sending anything to a client, or before making any prototypes, saving both time and money.
CAD makes the drawings much easier for everyone to read. Instead of the drafter trying to explain something, the drawings are legible, clear, and standardized, even for someone with limited knowledge of design.
Designs can also be saved and reused. The fashion industry can make and remake designs while spending nothing on manufacturing, and making changes and alterations on the screen before any sewing starts. In the same way, architectural drafting designs can also be saved and added to different client designs as needed.
