computer-aided design operator
Computer-aided design operators use computer hardware and software in order to add the technical dimensions to computer aided design drawings. Computer-aided design operators ensure all additional aspects of the created images of products are accurate and realistic. They also calculate the amount of materials needed to manufacture the products. Later the finalised digital design is processed by computer-aided manufacturing machines that produce the finished product.
Also called: CADD Designer, computer-aided manufacturing equipment operator, CAM draftswoman, computer aided design draughtsman, computer aided design technician, computer-aided manufacturing draftswoman, computer aided manufacturing operator, computer-aided manufacturing drafter
