Training in designing and manufacturing products is now available to the people of Peshawar, as an advanced computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) centre equipped with latest computers and software has been set up in this city.
This brings the total of such facilities set up by Technology Upgradation and Skill Development Company (Tusdec) in the country to five. According to Tusdec spokesman here on Tuesday, the company has already set up National Institute of Design and Analysis (Nida) in Lahore and Advanced CAD/CAM Centres in Karachi, Quetta and Sialkot.
Nida Lahore is playing its role as the hub for these centres. The newly established Peshawar centre will offer courses in Engineering Design, Electrical and Electronics, Civil/Architecture, Mechanical Drafting and Interior/Furniture design as just some of the planned courses. The centre is aimed at producing innovative designers instead of only software operators.
CAD/CAM technology, developed in the United States in 1950s, has been instrumental in the promotion of digital manufacturing in developed as well as developing countries. The major dividends of this technology are improved product quality and cost-effectiveness.
