CAD Files

CAD files (Computer-Aided Design files) store two-dimensional (2D) drawings or three-dimensional (3D) models. They are used for engineering tools, architectural plans, and related designs. CAD files are created by software like AutoCAD, FreeCAD, and SolidWorks.

CAD file formats store precise information for high-quality designs and technical illustrations. They are critical in engineering, allowing detailed modeling and accelerated product development. Modern CAD tools can represent features from microns to kilometers in size, making them indispensable in engineering applications.
