Abstract

In many industries or fields, the metaverse presents opportunities to improve the operations and workflows supporting computer-aided design (CAD) computing projects and their maintenance for a long time. It has the advantage of developing a three-dimensional (3D) world to focus on various aspects such as creation, visualization, testing, and modeling to rework into the real world. Augmented reality (AR) is an experience where users and designers enhance the products of the physical world into computer-generated sources. It is exceptionally changing the nature of collaboration in product design. It is a cloud-based technology and is useful for changing product design. As the motivation behind digital modeling, metaverse modeling is well-suited to CAD to enhance manufacturing mechanisms. This chapter explores the potential of creating 3D parametric computer-aided models using the AR technique.
