Create 3D models with ease 

While manual drafting can get the job done, the help of digital tools can make processes easier such as creating 3D models. It is not impossible to draft a 3D model manually, but the efficiency of creating them in CAD software is unmatched. You can turn 2D models into 3D ones, and with the use of 3D printers, you can make the most out of these CAD 3D models to create easy prototypes. 

The easy learning curve with CAD

It can sound intimidating to those who have had no prior experience with it, but CAD is fairly easy for beginners to learn. People with backgrounds in design such as product designers, architects, and engineers would have no problem getting used to this technology due to their experience of being able to think spatially. CAD makes use of simple tools most of us are familiar with in many other applications such as the cut, copy, paste, and delete features. With a lot of free resources such as guides and videos on the internet, getting used to CAD is no feat at all, and getting into its more advanced features can be self-taught. 

Editing and replicating 

The biggest upside to using computer software is the ability to recreate as many copies as possible. This makes it easy if designs would need to be shared with many different parties. When changes need to be made, editing is also easy. They can be tracked and many different versions can be saved, saving designers the huge costs of losing the files. 

Collaboration and shareability 

The nature of the internet and the cloud technology allows for easy file sharing. The same can be said for CAD. Project files and designs can be easily shared, viewed, and modified by other designers and parties in one environment. This is a stark contrast to manual drawings that would have to be scanned and would require different programs to make amendments, edits, and comments. 

File security 

Because CAD is a software, CAD programs are built with access controls that let the owner restrict who can view or modify the files. This is good for adding an extra layer of security to your files, which previously could not be done by its traditional paper counterpart.
