STANDARDIZATION OF CAD OBJECTS

Abstract

Computer-aided design (CAD) is a powerful tool for designing complex objects across a range of industries. However, as the complexity of designs has increased, there has been a growing need for standardization of CAD objects. Standardization can help ensure interoperability, efficiency, consistency, and quality, leading to better products and services. This article explores the benefits of standardization of CAD objects and the key aspects that should be standardized, such as geometry, materials, metadata, and naming conventions. It also discusses the rules and guidelines required for successful standardization and provides a range of references for further reading. By standardizing CAD objects, designers and manufacturers can create a more streamlined and efficient design process, facilitating collaboration and enhancing product quality.
