CAD Suites and Large Format Printing

CAD software, in particular 3D design software, requires a higher specification computer which is offered in our CAD suites.

Generally a larger monitor is required plus a higher specification processor, additional RAM, a higher specification graphics card and a 64bit operating system. One of the largest PC rooms is fitted with this specification of computer is to be found in Harris Building.
