Every type of CAD software explained — from 2D drafting to full simulation suites. Find the right tool for your discipline.
The foundation of technical drawing. 2D CAD tools produce precise floor plans, engineering drawings, schematics, and technical documentation. DWG format is the universal standard.
All-purpose 2D drafting for any industry. Line work, dimensions, annotations, and layouts.
Specialized symbols and libraries for electrical circuit documentation.
GD&T, tolerancing, title blocks, and part drawings for manufacturing.
Contours, parcels, alignments and survey-grade 2D documentation.
Three-dimensional CAD for product design, mechanical engineering, industrial design, and visualization. Ranges from surface modeling to full parametric assemblies.
Geometry driven by dimensions and constraints. Industry standard for manufacturing design.
Push/pull geometry editing without a history tree. Fast for concept design and imported data.
Class-A surfacing for automotive, marine, and consumer product aesthetics.
Aerospace and automotive grade design with full PDM integration.
Organic shapes, characters, and creative 3D for visualization or 3D printing.
AI-driven topology optimization. Define constraints, let software explore designs.
Building Information Modeling — intelligent 3D models that carry data about every element of a building. Used by architects, structural engineers, and contractors on the same model.
Design and document buildings with intelligent walls, doors, floors, and roofs.
Steel, concrete, and timber structural modeling linked to analysis software.
Mechanical, electrical, and plumbing design inside the BIM model.
Roads, bridges, rails, and utilities at civil engineering scale.
Clash detection, model federation, and issue tracking across disciplines.
Computer-Aided Manufacturing converts 3D models into machine toolpaths. CNC milling, turning, wire EDM, and additive manufacturing programming.
2.5-axis to 5-axis toolpaths for CNC machining centers.
Turning cycles, threading, grooving, and mill-turn for lathes.
Slice models, generate supports, and optimize builds for FDM, SLA, and metal printing.
Optimize material usage for laser, plasma, and waterjet cutting.
Validate designs before physical prototypes. Structural analysis, fluid dynamics, thermal simulation, fatigue, and electromagnetics.
Stress, strain, deformation, and buckling analysis under loads.
Internal and external flow simulation, pressure drops, aerodynamics.
Heat transfer, cooling, and thermal gradients in electronics or structures.
Predict crack propagation and service life under cyclic loading.
Antenna design, EMC, motor simulation, and signal integrity.
No install, no maintenance, access from any device. Browser-based CAD and PDM platforms for distributed teams and modern workflows.
Full parametric 3D modeling in a web browser. Real-time collaboration out of the box.
Manage CAD files, revisions, BOMs, and change orders in the cloud.
Photorealistic renders on cloud GPU farms. No local hardware needed.
