What is it?
Mechanical Engineering CAD (Computer-Aided Design) is the skill of using advanced software to design, develop, and improve manufacturing projects across industries such as automotive, shipbuilding, and aerospace. It combines technical knowledge of engineering principles with digital design skills to create precise 2D drawings and complex 3D models that bring ideas to life. CAD professionals play a vital role in optimising performance, improving efficiency, and reducing costs by simulating, testing, and refining products before they are manufactured. This blend of creativity, accuracy, and technology makes CAD essential to innovation in modern engineering and production.
