CAD-Computer Aided Design :: Computer Science

CAD-Computer Aided DesignComputer Aided Design systems make it easy to create a take in of anew design, therefore you are able to change the picture on the computer.This saves eon because you dont have to re draw everything from the elan it was originally started of with. It is also quicker to evaluate.There are many different types of CAD programs available to theindustries and designers. They are concerned with either the visualappearance of the convergence or the technical details and difficulties.Computers have become as integral part of the design. They candramatically cut down on labour and time and also costs.Garments have to have production patterns made. From these you canthen alter the sizes, shapes, styles etcThe process of changing a pattern size is called Grading. Grading ismathematical and involves working(a) out smaller measurements, having tomake each pattern piece bigger or smaller. Computers are used to dothis because it makes the process much quicker and spot lessCad has a number of advantages-Data from pattern-making programs can be used to instruct machines to cut pieces out from lengths of fabric-Drawings or designs can be scanned into the computer and a wide range of repeat patterns and colour options generated in minutes.-The finished fabrics can be chosen from the screen by a client or node and then printed using a digital printer. This is a big advantage for companies or industries using a one-off production, where they are making a garment to fulfil the standards and desirable needs of one particular customer. Them being able to choose their desired fabric/material is an advantage for the company as they are making something the customer chose themselves.-Changes can be made quickly as a customer waits.-Designs can be stored at a late date is then changed-Images can be sent electronically, directly to the client to view and have their opinions towards it.Disadvantages-There is an initial training period before the parcel can b e used.-The software is also expensive. Therefore, other clients or factories may not have the same software.-If there is a problem with the computers, then all the work Is on hold, until an maneuver is present to fix the problem.CAD helps speed up the entire design, manufacturing and retailprocess. The more new styles mean more sales are generated.
