Re: What Percent of Teams Use CAD?

FRC 1640 uses CAD (SolidWorks). I believe most teams use CAD.

With the growth of 3-D Printing and CNC/CAM, it is almost indispensable.

From a real world standpoint, it is a tremendously powerful design tool.

But knowing how to CAD is not the same as knowing how to design. CAD's just a tool. Design in the intellectual exercise.
