INTRODUCTION
• Computer Aided Design refers to the designs that an engineer prepares for certain
object using a computer. CAD models of mechanical designs help engineers to carry out
analysis of the structure, improve the designs, improve productivity and decrease the cost
of production. CAD software uses vector based graphics to represent drafts.
• The final object as per the computer aided design is produced by separate drafting of
parts while assembling them on a later stage. Designer needs to specify other parameters
for design.
• This includes materials used, processes that object needs to pass through, dimensions,
allowances & tolerances and more depending on software that he/she is using.

USES OF CAD SOFTWARES
• CAD software is heavily used in the mechanical industries which play a pivotal role in
manufacturing of each and every product. Mechanical design formed on a CAD software is
used to study the object much in prior to the actual manufacturing which can help in
optimizing the manufacturing process.
• Following are some of the uses of mechanical design softwares:
Mechanical designs can be directly uploaded to manufacturing machines like CNC
machines and the product can be manufactured using Computer Aided Manufacturing
Process.
• Mechanical designs can be used to analyse the product before actual manufacturing
takes place and induce changes if necessary which is not possible after the production
process starts.
It can be fed to the 3D Printers for direct manufacturing after meshing it into layers of
definite thickness.
The software can also be used for Documentation purposes.
CAD modelling can be used to mark material wastage regions which help in minimal
material wastage.

TYPES OF MECHANICAL DESIGN SOFTWARES
• There are different types of softwares for mechanical designs which require designer to
come up with basic plan of the object differently.
Following are two type of CAD softwares used for mechanical designs:
• PARAMETRIC MODELLING: This type allows the designer to induce changes into model
anytime he wants. In this type of modelling, geometric and functional relationships in the
model are preserved by software.
• DIRECT MODELLING: This type of modelling does not have a history tree and model is
directly converted into geometry. Designer does not need to change the original sketch to
make changes.

• CAD SOFTWARES
There are several softwares used for mechanical design but most common ones include
Dassaults Catia, Dassaults Solidworks, AutoDesk AutoCad, TurboCad, AutoDesk Inventor
etc. All these softwares have different interfaces and user friendliness.
• CONCLUSION
CAD softwares used for mechanical designs have helped the production process to
become more efficient by reducing wastage of material and using apt quality measures
depending on the analysis done on CAD model. CAD softwares have different features
integrated onto them which help in saving the crucial production time as well intern
giving higher efficiency, larger profits and scalability.
