Abstract

This paper investigates and evaluates the use of cloud-based CAD in the academic context, comparing
it against existing CAD software tools and cloud-based PDM vaults. It aims to guide industry and
educators who require insight into the particular needs and issues associated with CAD provision,
collaboration and industrial practice in academia.

Keywords: Computer Aided Design, Collaboration, Cloud-based design.
