Where a computer-aided design operator can go next

5 destinations recorded, ranked by how much of the target role a computer-aided design operator already meets. The closer to the top of Table 1, the less there is to learn.

Computer-aided design operators use computer hardware and software in order to add the technical dimensions to computer aided design drawings. Computer-aided design operators ensure all additional aspects of the created images of products are accurate and realistic. They also calculate the amount of materials needed to manufacture the products. Later the finalised digital design is processed by computer-aided manufacturing machines that produce the finished product.

Note

How these figures were compiled

Coverage is the share of the target role’s weighted skill requirement a computer-aided design operator already meets, counting required skills in full and supplementary ones at 0.35. It is directional: the figure for the reverse move differs. Every entry above opens the full comparison for that move: what carries over, what is missing, and where to start. The full method.
