CAD Modeling and Visualization
What is CAD software?
CAD software, or computer-aided design and drafting software, assists architects, engineers, designers, and mapping professionals in creating detailed models and drawings. It is crucial throughout the design, construction, and operation phases of various projects, including buildings, bridges, roads, factories, processing plants, rail networks, mines, substations, tunnels, and water and wastewater facilities.
