Computer Aided Design (CAD) is the general term for MANY different softwares used to create 2 dimensional (2D) drawings and 3 dimensional (3D) products. This could be for any thing. home products, cars, houses, the world!
AutoCAD is a pioneer in CAD and primarily 2D (*.dwg format - still a 2D standard widely used and translated from many other softwares)
A small sampling of 3D software is Solidworks, ProEngineer (ProE), Inventor, Catia. Most if not all CAD will do 2D & 3D but as it is a 3D world, most are migrating to 3D tools primarily with 2D as an add-on.
There are of course MANY other softwares in CAD and then there is CAM (Computer Aided Manufacturing), CNC (computer Numerical Control) translators between the many options are also available (STEP, IGES, STL etc).
