D3S Engineering Solutions Is Your CAD Drafting Specialist
Computer-Aided Design (CAD) drafting is integral with the engineering design process. It is the process of drawing up an engineering drawing, sketch or design by using CAD software on a computer. General drafting skills are very important in a competent engineering consultancy such as D3S Engineering Solutions; it is what the engineering process is built on.
Engineers often conceptualise and draw their designs on the drawing board before they move on to the Computer-Aided Drafting and Design (CADD) process, which enables them to create, manipulate, amend and perfect their designs much faster and more precisely than on paper. Powerful CAD programs are used to do this type of design work. Processing the drawings digitally by using a CAD drafting program enables engineers to speed up the design process.
CAD drafting enables fast data handling and makes it easy to create three-dimensional visualisations of the drafts, so that the engineer can view the finished product in a virtual environment, while amending, optimising and testing the design, long before the first prototype is made. Simulations can be run on the design to see how it would respond to different inputs. Information such as physical strength, fatigue resistance and expected life cycle can be gleaned from the CAD program, because the software knows all the cross sections, materials used and other design parameters. By the time the first prototype is made, the design is virtually perfect.
