Advantages And Disadvantages Of Computer Aided Design Flashcards
Give the first advantage of CAD
A design drawn on a CAD system can be engraved on acrylic, metal or glass
Give the second advantage of CAD
A design drawn on a CAD system can be printed out using a pen on paper, or it can be cut out of card or coloured vinyl by using a carbide-tripped cutter. This provides an excellent way of making cardboard models and designs
Give a third advantage of CAD
Can be more accurate than hand-drawn designs - it reduces human error.

List the first disadvantage of CAD
The software itself can be expensive so initial costs are high. There are free software packages though.
List the second disadvantage of CAD
Staff need to be trained how to use the software, which also adds to costs.
