| |JUNE 20205According to a report by MarketWatch, the global Engineering Software (CAD, CAM, CAE, AEC, and EDA) market size is expected to grow with a CAGR of 9.2 percent in the period of 2020 to 2025, forecasted to reach a worth of USD 30160 million by 2025, from USD 21220 million in 2019. CAD has gained prominence, proving its efficacy as more than just a design software. With continued development of the simulation of various manufacturing processes, CAD and CAM systems are becoming increasingly integrated. With every passing day, the scope of operations to which CAD/CAM is applied is getting broadened. Apart from its use in parts-shaping by traditional machine tool processes such as stamping, drilling, milling, and grinding, CAD/CAM is now being used by firms involved in producing consumer electronics, electronic components, molded plastics, and a host of other products. There are several new CAD programs today which offer several functionalities, including the integration of catalog, data interference, and macro-based interfaces. Another significant development this sector has seen recently is in the form of open-source CAD systems which are proving to be the better alternatives to traditional ones. Although they still are not very widespread but are in high demand, due to their flexibility and simplicity. They are expected to provide the right amount of functionalities for product and system design. With time, the waterfall product development is gradually being replaced by agile design, which is underscoring the importance of data management. Designers are moving to cloud-based platforms in order to be on the same page and factor in all the changes made in the process.
