Which acronym is used for design work on a computer in DT?

• A. CAD
• B. CAM
• C. CNC
• D. DAT

Answer: (A)

In DT, design work on a computer is done with CAD, which stands for Computer-Aided Design. CAD lets you create and edit digital representations of products, including 2D drawings and 3D models, with precise dimensions and features. It makes it easy to test ideas, adjust designs, and share them before any physical parts are made. The other terms relate to later stages of the process: CAM stands for Computer-Aided Manufacturing, which uses digital designs to plan and control production; CNC refers to machines controlled by computers to perform cutting or shaping; and DAT isn’t a standard DT term for design work. So CAD is the acronym for designing on a computer.
