A Comparison of Solution Strategies to Applied Geometric Design Problems by Descriptive Geometry and 3D-CAD

There is a wide spread use of 3D-CAD in industrial fields. With the spread, some people say that the traditional descriptive geometry is no longer any use. It is true that the true length of a straight line and the intersection between two solid objects can be obtained much more precisely and much more quickly with the use of 3D-CAD. Is the traditional descriptive geometry no longer any use? Or, if it is still useful in 3D-CAD era, in which aspects is it useful? In this paper, we will solve some applied geometric design problems with the use of traditional descriptive geometry and 3D-CAD and compare the solution processes for getting some insight to the above mentioned questions.
