What Is A 3D CAD Design/Drawing?

In its simplest form 3D CAD designs or drawings can be viewed on a computer screen as a real physical part when rotated. The advantages are many over 2D Drawings. The true power, if your part is designed correctly, is providing you with the correct file format to get your idea, part or design made right the first time.
