COMPUTER-AIDED DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT
Keywords:
Computer-Aided Design (CAD), Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM), 3D modeling, design optimization, engineering software, digital prototyping, industrial design.Abstract
Computer-Aided Design (CAD) and Computer-Aided Development (CAM) have revolutionized the field of design and manufacturing by integrating advanced software tools with engineering and creative processes. This study explores the principles, methodologies, and applications of CAD/CAM systems in modern design, emphasizing their role in improving efficiency, accuracy, and innovation. The research combines theoretical analysis with practical case studies to evaluate the effectiveness of CAD tools in various industries, including mechanical engineering, architecture, and product design. Results demonstrate that computer-aided design and development significantly reduce design errors, optimize workflow, and enhance the creativity and functionality of final products. The study highlights the importance of integrating CAD/CAM in education and professional practice to meet contemporary industrial demands.
