For decades, product designers have relied on computer-aided design (CAD) programmes to create various parts and components, such as Autodesk’s AutoCAD. These advanced programmes can generate extremely detailed 2D and 3D models.

The differences between CAD and BIM file types are numerous, making a successful conversion nearly impossible.
