CAD - Acronym for computer-aided design. A CAD system is a combination of hardware and software that enables engineers and architects to design everything from furniture to airplanes. In addition to the software, CAD systems require a high-quality graphics monitor; a mouse, light pen, or digitizing tablet for drawing; and a special printer or plotter for printing design specifications. CAD systems allow an engineer to view a design from any angle with the push of a button and to zoom in or out for close-ups and long-distance views. In addition, the computer keeps track of design dependencies so that when the engineer changes one value, all other values that depend on it are automatically changed accordingly. Until the mid 1980s, all CAD systems were specially constructed computers. Now, you can buy CAD software that runs on general-purpose workstations and personal computers.

computer aided design as it is known as is the software designed for designing 3-D models or rather complex 3-D models for various objects such as cars buildings etc
the most famous software for this is the auto cad

computer-aided design is the full form. This is the software which aid in designing complex 3-D models of cars, buildings,science-fiction movie etc.
Many software may be available but the most popular as from the ADOBE that is AUTO CAD
