CAD software available today can resolve several issues plaguing the sheet metal fabrication domain. Design in
3D, convert to sheet metal parts, unfold a part or assembly into 2D for production, leverage 3D visualization
capabilities to communicate better, and do much more.

But even CAD designing has its own set of challenges...
