The SUBTRACT feature in CAD software enables users to create new 2D or 3D objects by removing parts of one model from another where they intersect. This boolean operation is essential for shaping complex geometries, allowing designers to refine shapes, create cavities, or generate intricate details.
By manipulating existing models through subtraction, users can achieve precise designs that meet specific engineering and aesthetic requirements, making it a valuable tool in various industries, including manufacturing and architecture.
