What Is Computer-Aided Design?

The article explains how Computer-Aided Design (CAD) improves accuracy, efficiency, and communication in profile bending by embedding bend intent and following key design rules. It stresses maintaining uniform wall thickness, respecting minimum bend radii, ensuring symmetry, and avoiding sharp internal corners to prevent defects. Using simulation tools and clear bend data in CAD reduces trial-and-error, shortens production time, and ensures consistent, manufacturable results.
