CAD stands for computer-aided design and drafting and it refers to designing and documenting technical specs and plans in various engineering fields. CAD drawing does not have to be challenging to be effective. And you don't have to be tied to a PC to do it either. SmartDraw's CAD drafting software is uniquely powerful and easy to use. QCAD is a free, open-source application for CAD in 2D.It can be used to create technical drawings such as buildings, mechanical parts or diagrams. The software was designed with modularity, extensibility and portability in mind, and it comes with an intuitive user interface. Free CAD is an open source program for Windows, Mac and Linux that directly addresses the engineering and design of products for mechanical use. It can also be used for architectural projects or other engineering sectors based on 3D modeling.
We aim to give every engineer the power to quickly design and change product concepts in 3D without having to learn complex traditional CAD software
