As a CAD Technician, your role involves producing technical drawings crucial to engineers, architects, and construction firms. These drawings breathe life into various products, from small machines to entire structures. Using specialized software, CAD technicians create blueprints, exploded views, 3D models, product animations, assembly guides, materials lists, elevations, isometric views, and parametric models. These documents and guidelines serve as the blueprint for assembling the final product or structure.
