It defines the specifications, plans, parameters, costs, activi ties, processes and how and what to do within legal, political, social, environm ental, safety and economic constraints in achieving that objective. Design includes Analysis, research, specification, conceptualising and p resentation. Computer-aided design (CAD), is the use of computer technology for the process of design and design-documentation. CAD is an important industrial a rt extensively used in many applications, including automotive, shipbuilding and aerospace industries, industrial and architectural design, prosthetics, and man y more. Objectives: The objective of optimal design is to satisfy the customer requirements and the basic principles/standards of engineering or Rules. There are Rules to b e followed during design, specified by the International classification societie s. These Rules form the basis for assessing the design and construction of new projects and the integrity of existing ones. Rules are derived from basic pr inciples of engineering and associated disciplines. The design has to be perform ed as per the customer requirements. Methedology: Design softwares are useful Tools used to implement the design. These s oftwares were imbibed with Rules and basic principles of Design. The software d esigner and implementer can get valuable feedback from the users early in the pr oject. These softwares are very useful in prototyping, comparing the results bef ore manufacturing. The client and the contractor can compare if the software made matches t he software specification, according to which the software program is built. It also allows the engineer some insight into the accuracy of initial project esti mates and whether the deadlines and milestones proposed can be successfully met. Conclusion: The customer specifications and the concerned rules are the basis of des ign. Design softwares are the tools used for optimal design. Future designs can be easily performed using these softwares and suggest new designs to the custom ers.

Synopsis

Introduction Objectives Methodology Conclusion Chapter 1 Introduction One of the first processes in the manufacturing task is designing a prod uct or service that has been identified by the marketing department as important to existing or potential customers. In either case computer aided design is an important tool in this process. Computer-aided design (CAD) is the use of computer technology for the process o f design and design-documentation. Computer Aided Drafting describes the process of drafting with a computer. CAD software provides the user with input-tools fo r the purpose of streamlining design processes; drafting, documentation, and man ufacturing processes. CAD output is often in the form of electronic files for pr int or machining operations. CAD software uses either vector based graphics to d epict the objects of traditional drafting, or may also produce raster graphics s howing the overall appearance of designed objects. 1.1 General Overview CAD often involves more than just shapes. As in the manual drafting of technical and engineering drawings, the output of CAD must convey information, such as ma terials, processes, dimensions, and tolerances, according to application-specifi c conventions. CAD may be used to design curves and figures in two-dimensional (2D) space; or c urves, surfaces, and solids in three-dimensional (3D) space. CAD is an important industrial art extensively used in many applications, includ ing automotive, shipbuilding, and aerospace industries, industrial and architect ural design, prosthetics, and many more. CAD is also widely used to produce comp uter animation for special effects in movies, advertising and technical manuals. The modern ubiquity and power of computers means that even perfume bottles and shampoo dispensers are designed using techniques unheard of by engineers of the 1960s. Because of its enormous economic importance, CAD has been a major driving force for research in computational geometry, computer graphics (both hardware and software), and discrete differential geometry. The design of geometric models for object shapes, in particular, is occasionally called computer-aided geometric design (CAGD).
