Addon for CAD in Blender is Here!!
CAD aka (Computer Aided Design) is a term used for the creation of a 3d model which is made using a computer.CAD software is mainly used in the mechanical engineering and the film industries.It helps in the creation of working models and can be brought to the real world by 3d printing it.
I found an addon in Blender which enables you to add CAD like features into Blender.The best part is that it's completely free.
As I already know Blender, it is kinda easy for me to use it.CAD sketcher is an addon which is incomplete or as u can say undeveloped but to all the readers this addon is really good and I would recommend you to try it.
It uses sketches which you draw and are projected on a 2d plane.You can use technical drawings as exercises and practise but let's stop blabbering and get to the point.
It goes well with modifiers and in the future,it will with geometry nodes.It uses constraints like any other CAD software eg distance constraint,vertical constraint,horizontal constraint .Now i wont get into the nitty gritty of the addon but understanding the basics will be beneficial.We can create a rectangle,circle and an arch.We also have tools like the beveling and lines.
Thats all there is for today.Thank you guys for reading this.
See you guys next time.
