CAD, or Computer-Aided Design, brings your design processes onto a powerful digital platform and allows you to transform your ideas into reality with the finest details. This innovative technology, used across various sectors from engineering to architecture, automotive to industrial manufacturing, enables you to create technical drawings with high precision in a computer environment, quickly revise your designs, and maximize your performance through spatial analyses. While accelerating the design process, it also minimizes the margin of error with detailed visualization and analysis features.
CAD programs allow users to create, edit, and analyze technical drawings in a digital environment. These software tools make it much more practical to make changes during the design and project planning processes, take measurements, and create visualizations.
Compared to manual drafting, CAD software saves time, reduces error rates, and enables the reuse of designs. The ability to digitally archive and share projects is also among its major advantages.
Netcad is Turkey’s most widely used domestic CAD software. It offers regulation-compliant solutions across a wide range of fields, including surveying, cadastre, urban planning, mining, energy, transportation, smart cities, infrastructure, and geographic data management. Netcad is actively used in both the public and private sectors.By integrating CAD and GIS data, Netcad enables users to manage their projects more efficiently. Its core module, Netcad GIS, combines the ease of CAD-based data production with the comprehensive rules of a GIS environment.With its advanced data editing tools and regulation-compliant modules, Netcad allows users to create tailored projects that meet specific needs.
A wide range of professionals incorporate CAD software into their daily workflows, including architects; surveying, civil, mining, geological, and agricultural engineers; urban planners; technicians; and experts working in design-focused fields such as mechanical and electrical engineering. Additionally, university students studying engineering, architecture, and design actively use CAD tools to put their theoretical knowledge into practice and to build a strong foundation for their careers.
A CAD model is a digital drawing file created using CAD software, containing geometry and style information related to the design. These models are typically structured in layers and include visual and structural details such as style, line type, color, and line thickness. Each CAD software produces output in its proprietary file format or in internationally recognized formats.This flexibility allows models to be opened, edited, or converted across different software platforms. Some of the well-known and commonly used CAD file formats include *.NCZ, *.DXF, *.DWG, *.DGN, *.XYZ, *.LAS, and *.LAZ.
CAD drawings offer high-precision solutions across many fields such as surveying, cadastre, urban planning, mining, energy, and transportation. They enhance efficiency at every step from defining parcel and property boundaries to preparing zoning plans, from 3D modeling of mining sites to optimizing the routing of energy transmission lines.
CAD tools enable map-based analyses for road and transportation projects, infrastructure networks, and smart city applications. They also allow you to visualize and manage geographic data in compliance with national and international standards.
