Computer Aided Design (CAD) is used in product, architectural, graphic, and engineering design and in industries as varied as aerospace engineering,landscape architecture, and manufacturing. CAD enables designers to lay out and develop their work onscreen, print it out, and save it for future editing.
Solidworks is a 3D mechanical CAD program. Solidworks is used by over 1.3 million engineers and designers at more than 130,000 companies worldwide.
