'''Computer-aided design''' ('''CAD'''), as the word itself states, involves design using [[computer]]-aided tools. CAD was originally the three-letter [[acronym]] for "Computer Aided Drafting", as in the early days CAD was really a replacement for the traditional [[drafting board]].

Computer-aided design (CAD) is design using computer-aided tools. CAD was originally the three-letter acronym for "Computer-Aided Drafting", as in the early days CAD was really a replacement for the traditional drafting board. But now it is the term often interchanged with "Computer-Aided Design" to reflect the fact that modern CAD tools do much more than just drafting.
