First of all, I would like to welcome you
to my CAD website which displays some of my work drawn with
IMSI's TurboCAD
v9.5, v10.2, v10.5, v11.2 and v14.0 Professional CAD programs.
For the uninformed, the abbreviation "CAD" means Computer Aided Design.
In past days engineers and architects would spend hours at the drafting
board laboriously drawing parts, floor plans, etc. to create the blueprints
or plans needed for the design and construction of toasters, automobiles,
aircraft, skyscrapers and even the massive hydroelectric dams seen
around the world. Almost every object around us created by man
usually starts out as an idea in someone's head, is then sketched
out to more easily visualize the idea and then is drawn out as a blueprint
or plan to guide in it's construction.
Today this time intensive
task of having to manually hand draw each and every part or group
of parts of a project has almost universally been replaced with CAD.
Not only is the use of CAD a much faster method, it often is far more
accurate too. Hand drawing, on the other hand (drafting is the
correct term), also has severe limitations when it comes to visualizing
an object in three dimensions. While useful in its own right,
two dimensional drawings can give only a crude idea as to what a project
will actually look like once it is completed. Modern day computers,
on the other hand, now have the power to actually display a CAD drawn
project not only is 2D but also in 3D (three dimensions) so that it
can be studied and analyzed from any angle on the computer screen.
Materials, colors and textures can also be assigned to these objects
so that they can be "rendered" into lifelike graphic representations
of an actual real life oject.
