We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "CAD Software", and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest. Let me be your guide.
 
Start with the news release Consultancy uses CAD for varied projects from SolidWorks Corporation, which we summarised at the time by saying "SolidWorks enabled Petersen and his team to visualise how all of the spectrometer's components would shrink down and fit into a smaller unit, while ensuring against part interference". Earlier in the week, we featured the news release CAD software speeds simulator development from SolidWorks Corporation: "MTS used SolidWorks to develop a high-performance road simulator, the Heavy Truck 329 system, that can apply virtually any force to any combination of wheels on a heavy truck".
 
In January 2008, we covered the news from PTC - Parametric Technology (UK) concerning its Pro/Engineer - take a look at CAD software streamlines golf club development which says: "Mizuno had its overseas manufacturing sites use Pro/Engineer for communicating and verifying 3D models, making mass production of its new club feasible".
 
Take a look also at the news release from Delcam, CAD software receives press design update, as well as Free experimental software available online from SolidWorks Corporation, and Software models glucose measurement system from SolidWorks Corporation.
