In this modern age, there is very little need for anyone to use a pen or pencil when they have time to spare. Instead it is most common to use computers to perform drawing or illustration tasks, when it is not necessary that you get an image completed in a few seconds, in which case a pen and paper would be best suited.

In this regard, the use of computers for CAD tasks is, as the name suggests, the perfect fit. Using a computer to make drawings, plans or images of a space or object is perfect. Computers allow you to modify or edit an image or virtual object, manoeuvring it within a virtual 3D space, and thus printing images from a variety of angles without having to re draw the image.

Image manipulation

Once an image has been created and manipulated to the desired angle or style, you can easily print multiple copies of said image as you please as long as you have sufficient paper supplies, such as wide format paper and the correct type of printer, such as the canon ipf6300 ...

Once you have the correct equipment to produce prints, you’re well on your way to creating many brilliant images at a high quality as and when you need them. If you compare productivity levels with the pre computer aided design years, the comparison is incredible.

Think about the amount of time it would take you to create 50 different images of a product or architectural model, all from different angles. One drawing alone, even in the hands of a skilled and quick artist, would take at least a few hours, factoring in thinking time to conceptualise the building or object from the desired angle.

Time taken

Think again about re doing this process for each angle required, being completely sure each time that the way that you are conceptualising the object is completely correct in regard to angles and positioning of specific features. This would take an additional half an hour to an hour for each new angle or viewpoint.

Add this all together and you have a few weeks worth of work minimum. Compare this to using a computer aided method. This route would require a few hours of intense design time, making sure that the model is perfect on the screen. After this, all that you would need to do is spend a few seconds or minutes repositioning the model on the screen before hitting the print button and having a printed image within seconds or minutes depending on the image type.

In total, the hand drawn method would take at very minimum a week or two, whereas the computer aided method would take a day or two at very most. The choice is almost made for you.
