Susie works for an architectural firm and the partners have always drawn the plans for projects by hand. Though Susie learned how to draw by hand in college, she is also highly skilled on computer programs that allow her to create designs in 3D. She plans to demonstrate the effectiveness of such programs to the firm's partners. The computer program she will recommend to the partners is:_________
A. CAD.
B. CAM.
C. CIM.
D. SCM.

Computer Aided Design, CAD, is basically for design. It involves the use of a computer to assist in the process of designing a part, circuit, building, etc.

It is also for drafting, here it makes use of a computer to assist in the process of communicating a technical drawing.

CAD has a couple of models in which its drawings and designs are represented. namey;

Solid Modeling: This is a type of 3D CAD process in which volumes of an object are represented not just its lines and surfaces.

Wireframe Modeling: This is a 3D CAD process that represents the lines and surfaces of a design.

Additive Modeling: This is a 3D modelling method in which each component is created individually and subsequent components are created as needed. This method is represented by construction processes such as welding, gluing, mechanical fastening, joinery.

Subtractive Modeling: This is a 3D modelling method in which a design is created by removing different geometric shapes from a solid block larger than the final design. The method is can best be represented by milling, drilling, turning, grinding, and other manufacturing processes.

Susie can make use of CAD and pitch its importance to his clients.
