What is a CAD Software?
Originating in the 1960s, Computer-aided design (CAD) is a method of mocking up designs in 2D and 3D simulations. The most common professionals who leverage CAD include engineers, architects, and construction workers. CAD Software automates the manual drafting process with highly productive digital tools, artificial intelligence & machine learning to create faster more efficient modeling & documentation workflows.
Leading the way in CAD software solutions. BricsCAD is based on industry standard. DWG format, making it compatible with other software & tools reducing the time necessary to re-train teams. Each Bricsys CAD solution is focused on the optimization of the drafting process paired to improve productivity accuracy & quality.
Why use CAD Software?
CAD software enables Engineers to design faster, cut production costs & complete projects more quickly. It also empowers designers to seamlessly experiment with concepts and reuse existing designs more easily.
CAD allows more efficient design, helps reduce errors, improves quality, and allows easier information sharing. Better, more innovative designs can be delivered much faster with limited resources. This enables the creation of premium but affordable products and accelerates production while enabling greater product improvement.
Engineering drawings have evolved over the years and are potentially very complicated. A solution to many engineering problems requires a combination of organization, analysis, problem-solving principles, and a graphical representation of the problem. Objects in engineering are represented by a technical drawing (also called drafting) that represents the designs and specifications of the physical object and data relationships.
A technical drawing needs to be precise and communicate all information about the design clearly, and this is where CAD comes to the fore.
Create the Fundamentals in 2D to Build Big in 3D
For many teams, the CAD workflow begins with the initial 2D drafting of a future concept. 2D drawing is a quick and effective way to start the earliest design iterations, using highly accurate CAD drawings to allow teams to collaborate and understand the goal of a project.
2D drawing provides various information on cross-sections and dimensions which are useful in manufacturing a part of the product. But the 3D CAD drawing permits various separate parts to be assembled which provides an understanding of a complex geometric design.
3D enables you to visualize and understand what a finished product would look like.
BricsCAD is used throughout the design process from 2D schematic to 3D model. Precision is vital when it comes to developing a design (2D to 3D) though there are many challenges involved where BricsCAD can help to make your life easier & manageable. From the earliest design iterations in a 2D drawing to the final 3D model that will act as the foundation for a project, BricsCAD makes it simple to capture design concepts and produce billable documentation, all within one easy-to-use platform.
