Facilitating beads-making through computer aided design

The world has become a global community; information is easily shared using the modern digital computer to ease the process of beads-making. The use of computer in bead making speeds up the work, giving accuracy and versatility. The use of computer in bead-making consist of Computer Aided Design (CAD) and Computer Aided Manufacturer (CAM). The CAD deals with the designing of the bead in two-dimensional and three-dimensional forms. It also deals with direct production of the bead design prototype, since it has always been a repeated process in bead making to acquire the right length. CAD has reduced the need of draftsman and manual drafting techniques. Beads designers should undertake computer lessons to learn more about the use of AutoCAD in CAD and practice the use of other modeling softwares such as Adobe, Corel, JewelCAD and others. To produce beads design and if possible produce a catalogue for the consumption of the public such as the one designed in this paper.
