In this paper, we learn about the shift from 2D to 3D computer-aided design (CAD) in manufacturing, focusing on SolidWorks 3D CAD software. It highlights benefits such as enhanced visualization, improved communication, automatic updates, error reduction, interference checking, design reuse, virtual testing, and manufacturing advantages. The document also discusses the transition process from 2D to 3D and the importance of 3D in addressing modern design challenges.
