CAD performance issues? Local hardware is often the bottleneck.
Compute-intensive CAD models can quickly overwhelm traditional workstations – especially when working with complex 3D geometries or simulations. Long loading times, rendering failures, and lack of mobility slow down projects and tie up valuable resources. In an era of flexible work models, relying on local CAD setups has become a barrier to innovation.

What is CAD – and why is it so important?
CAD stands for Computer-Aided Design – digital design powered by high-performance software. Engineers, architects, and developers use CAD to precisely design, model, and optimize complex products – from mechanical components and building plans to 3D-printed prototypes.
Modern CAD systems generate accurate 3D models, perform physical simulations, and seamlessly transfer data to manufacturing.
Whether in mechanical engineering, construction, electrical engineering, or medical technology – CAD is the backbone of digital design across nearly every industry.

CAD – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What does CAD actually mean?
CAD stands for Computer-Aided Design and refers to the computer-based development, modelling, and modification of technical designs – from mechanical components and architectural plans to clothing and dental prosthetics.
Depending on the context, the term includes not only the creation of geometric models but also simulations and calculations throughout the entire design process.
Modern CAD systems also enable seamless integration with manufacturing, quality assurance, and simulation tools (CAM, CAE, CAQ), making them the backbone of digital product development.
What tasks does CAD actually cover?
Depending on the definition, CAD can include everything from creating and editing geometric models (2D/3D) to simulating, calculating, and documenting the entire product development process – from initial design to final manufacturing handoff.
This includes tasks such as designing individual parts, assembling components into larger structures, performing collision checks, and generating technical drawings.
Modern CAD systems also integrate seamlessly into workflows like FEM analysis, bill of materials creation, and automated manufacturing processes – making them an essential part of today’s digital engineering environment.
Why is moving CAD to the cloud worth it?
Cloud-based CAD offers maximum flexibility: teams can work from anywhere, access up-to-date models at any time, and benefit from dynamically scalable computing power – all without the need for expensive high-end hardware.
This not only reduces investment costs for workstations but also accelerates project kick-off by eliminating the need for complex infrastructure setup. In addition, cloud environments simplify cross-location collaboration and ensure consistent version control of all CAD data through centralized storage.
What role do GPUs play in cloud-based CAD?
GPUs (Graphics Processing Units) are specialized in graphics-intensive computations and enable extremely fast visualizations and simulations. In the cloud, multiple GPUs can be used in parallel – ideal for demanding CAD projects.
At centron, powerful and scalable GPU servers are deployed that can be flexibly expanded based on demand. This allows users to benefit from high performance, even when working with complex assemblies, large-scale construction projects, or high-end renderings.
Which industries benefit most from cloud-based CAD?
Architecture, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, construction, medical technology – and many more. Teams with high mobility or distributed locations particularly benefit from real-time, location-independent collaboration. In product development, aerospace, and the automotive industry, cloud-based CAD also enables shorter development cycles and parallel work on complex designs. And thanks to easy access to powerful GPU resources, even smaller companies with limited IT budgets can compete on equal footing with large enterprises.
Why are centron’s cloud GPUs the ideal choice for your CAD projects?
centron’s cloud GPUs deliver maximum computing power for demanding CAD applications – scalable, flexible, and without the need for your own hardware.
