Computer-Aided Design (CAD) as a book category covers the theory, tools, techniques and applications of using computer software to create, analyze and document designs for products, buildings, components and systems. Titles range from introductory guides and hands‑on tutorials for specific CAD packages (AutoCAD, SolidWorks, Rhino, Revit, Fusion 360, etc.) to advanced texts on parametric and generative modeling, simulation, finite element analysis, CAD/CAM integration, and workflows for 3D printing and manufacturing. Books in this category address practical drafting standards, modeling best practices, industry-specific workflows (architecture, mechanical, industrial, civil, aerospace), and the underlying geometry, algorithms and data exchange formats that enable interoperability. They target a broad audience — students, designers, engineers, architects and technicians — and may emphasize conceptual foundations, step‑by‑step project instruction, or case studies of real-world design and production processes.
