What is CAD Software Used For?
CAD software is used across numerous industries. Relied upon by design and engineering professionals, it helps create 2D and 3D models which can be used to visualize, test, and optimize the design process.
Building Designs
In architecture and engineering, CAD software is integral to a team’s workflow from concept to creation. Whether designing a new building or creating an add-on to an existing structure, BricsCAD makes it easy for teams to efficiently draft 2D and 3D models to help move projects forward. Using the intuitive technology BricsCAD offers, designers and engineers can iterate on models, turning concepts into viable project baselines.
Manufacturing Designs
Throughout the complex manufacturing process, accurate modeling is central to optimizing the design, production, and inspection of product parts. Manufacturing teams rely on BricsCAD software to create 3D visualizations that can be tested, improved upon, and turned into finalized products. Additionally, BricsCAD is compatible with 3D printers, allowing manufacturing organizations to tap into the vast array of opportunities 3D printing offers.
Product Assembly Designs
From consumer products to robust commercial machinery, BricsCAD helps teams conceptualize future products with 2D and 3D modeling. These drafts can be circulated across key stakeholders, allowing for a more efficient approval process. Once drafts have been finalized, the standard file formats produced by BricsCAD make it easy to turn models into initial product prototypes.
Infrastructure Designs
Engineers rely on accurate 2D and 3D modeling to ensure land development and other infrastructure projects reflect real-world environments. With the use of BricsCAD, engineers and designers can work collaboratively to create models that serve as the foundation for in-field project activities.

High-Performance Modeling
Take your business to a new level with the high-performance modeling of BricsCAD. Powered by AI, BricsCAD is the best CAD software for teams working with complex modeling. No matter how many millions of lines are in a file, BricsCAD operates smoothly and seamlessly.
In fact, BricsCAD is 2.7x faster at opening 500+ DWG files and 2.8x faster at running advanced LISP routines.
An industry-leading CAD program, BricsCAD supports multi-threaded, multi-processor operations to accelerate product performance for file loads and drawing generation and rendering.
Enjoy a variety of high-performance features, such as smooth zoom and pan operations in drawings containing hundreds of thousands of entities, a multi-resolution, persistent image cache to display PDF underlays, enabling super-fast zoom and pan operations, and BricsCAD’s better pan and zoom performance, even with enormous 64-bit BigTIFF files.
