TASK 1
INTRODUCTION
CAD stands for computer aided design .CAD refers to the aid or help of computer, design any
component before it is actually manufactured.
BENEFITS
Improves in design quality
Improvement in design communication
Design documentation
Improves in designer productivity
Creating manufacturing routes via CAD-CAM
Easy modification in design/drawings
High design accuracy with least error margins
Easy accessible and usage (Lalit ,2008)
SELECTION OF CAD SOFTWARE
For 2D and 3D purpose the selected cad software that are widely used are shown below.
• AUTOCAD (2D Software)
Autocad is the 2D software generally used for preparing 2d sketches, process flow
diagrams and engineering drawings in 1st and 3 rd angle projection.
Some of examples of autocad shown below .

• SOLIDWORKS (3D Software)
Solidworks is the 3D software generally used for preparing 3D models and sketches
,engineering drawing of assembly , product analysis using simulation and motion study
.This software apart from creating the model also test the model on real conditions
which is not done in AutoCAD ( Yare ,2012) .
