Potential benefits:
1.Quality designs. CAD ensures accuracy in the production of designs. CAD
alsosubjects designs to rigorous testing thus ensuring reliability.
2. Speed in designing. Since the design process is automated, it‘s likely to be
shorterthan manual design.
3.Improved group collaboration. CAD enables sharing of designs amongst
manydesigners thus improving group collaboration.
4. Reduced costs
Using a traditional physical design methodology, each design modification requires a
mold to be made and a prototype to be physically tested. This process must be repeated
many times, which is very expensive and time consuming. Using a CAD workstation, the
designer only needs to make a physical prototype toward the end of the design process
because the design can be easily tested and changed on the computer.
