Computer-aided design (CAD) for products in slovene wood industry companies

Computer-Aided Design (CAD) of products offers the designer many advantages in comparison with 'manual' approach. A computer with a CAD system is a tool of the designer and will perform most of the routine operations for him. The designer himself on the basis of his knowledge and experience, however, makes the concept of the product and major decisions. Such work is more efficient and costs less. In spite of these facts, in Slovenia there are still many wood industry companies where products are not designed by using either multipurpose CAD programs or programs specially developed for their specific activities.
