In re- cent years, the proliferation of cloud-based Inter- net solutions, other various devices, and platforms have widened the scope of 3D CAD modeling to a much broader user base. Thus, 3D CAD modeling is practically more applicable and useful for new verticals such as mechanical engineering. “Energy conservation is the only solution.” S T U D E N T A RT I C L E S 39
