AutoCAD
There are several reasons why you should learn how to use AutoCAD.
AutoCAD is a 2D and 3D CAD drafting tool developed by Autodesk that was first released decades ago.
It's a CAD (Computer Aided Design and Drafting) programme.
It uses vector graphics to illustrate traditional drafting objects.
In order to represent the overall appearance of design objects, AutoCAD can also produce raster and bitmap graphics.
Learning to utilise this CAD programme allows you to communicate object-level design ideas to your clients in a more efficient and effective manner.
ENGINEER MANTRA takes use of your learning curve and improves your learning process by allowing you to explore practical ideas using AutoCAD capabilities.
Using AutoCAD to be inventive
The ability to design using CAD is a creative skill that will improve your technical skills and allow you to pursue a professional career in a variety of fields such as engineering, architecture, interior design, fashion design, manufacturing, project management, and so on.
You can complete a design project, retain it as a hobby, or turn it into a source of money to help with your financial needs if you have CAD abilities.
Choose a career path.
As an ambitious student of architecture, engineering, interior design, and other related fields, you will probably need CAD abilities to succeed.
At some time in your career, you will be needed to learn how to utilize CAD.
As a result, learning AutoCAD is a must if you want to pursue a career in architecture or engineering.
Getting paid
Many consumers require the capacity to design a building, create functioning engineering prototypes, or draw an architecture plan, and these skills can be easily monetized due to the great demand for design professionals in these areas.
As a result, as a technician, draughtsman, or designer, you can start a career as an AutoCAD freelancer and earn a reasonable amount of money.
The first step is to learn AutoCAD and put together an impressive portfolio.
Several freelancing services, such as UpWork, Freelancer.com, Truelancer, and others, are currently available to assist you in your freelance path, where the need for AutoCAD professionals is enormous.
Getting involved with additive manufacturing
The manufacturing industry is now incorporating the benefits of 3D printing into its prototype operations, which formerly relied on 2D CADs for design.
3D printing is dependable because of the high level of accuracy that CAD provides when developing a model.
Individuals who want to 3D print products at home or build new useful objects should absolutely improve their CAD modelling skills to make the additive manufacturing process easier.
Building foundation to master other CAD softwares
The user friendly interface provided by AutoCAD makes it easier for you to learn different other CAD softwares too. Having a comprehensive knowledge in CAD can make you learn and explore more complex CAD design tools available in market.
Designing and arranging furniture
The majority of consumers have used online furniture shopping websites and have tested the furniture dimensions to see whether it would fit in their intended location.
Using AutoCAD, you may become a master at planning furniture in spaces.
Imagine being able to create your own furniture from the ground up, write a room and virtually arrange furniture in it, design an office space and organize personnel arrangements, and so on.
How would you feel if you could do all of this using CAD?
This, and many other things, may be accomplished with the proper use of AutoCAD and a basic understanding of furniture design and placement.
AutoCAD allows furniture producers and interior designers to be more innovative.
Before they build or design the actual furniture, they generate prototypes and designs for their clientele.
We at ENGINEER MANTRA think that everyone's ability to grasp and understand things is different.
As a result, we concentrate on each professional's learning curve by evaluating their grasping power and customizing our teaching approaches to ensure that each professional knows AutoCAD theoretically and can use their knowledge practically.
