Formal training ensures faster take up
Article Abstract:
CAD software when introduced for the first time as easy to learn was in fact a challenge to keep students from giving up and persuading them that they could master the software. It is become much easier to learn since then, as it is at present possible to allocate computing power to the man-machine interface, which shows formal training is still very beneficial and vital, and is one of the best returns on investment.

Do-it-all CAD speeds success
Article Abstract:
A CAD software called 'PTC Wildfire 2' CAD, is used in rally cars, to manage large assemblies, with parametric mechanical analysis and extremely efficient surface design capabilities. Advanced sheet metal CAD reduces roll cage installation from 100 man-hours to 40 man-hours and a database of critical component dimensions that change slowly with time ensure that mating parts always fit.
