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).
CAD means computer aided design and cam mean computer aided manufacturer.
CADD stands for Computer Aided Drafting and Design.
There is no real difference. You could say that Computer Aided Design includes CAE (Computer Aided Engineering) tools, such as Finite Element Analysis.
CAE (Computer Aided Engineering), advantages are that it's less time-consuming and saves you money by visually designing and improving designs.
CAD is Computer Aided (or Assisted) Design (or Drafting). It is the creation of design drawings using a computer. CAM is Computer Aided (or Assisted) Manufacturing. It uses computer-controlled tools to shape, drill, join and otherwise manipulate objects. The tool controls may be derived from a CAD plan, or they can be recorded from a skilled operator performing the function.

CAD most commonly stands for Computer-Aided Design, but depending on the context, it can also mean: Computer-Aided Drafting – when the focus is on creating technical drawings. Computer-Aided Documentation – in projects emphasizing design records and detailing. Computer-Aided Development – sometimes used in product or software design contexts. In engineering and construction, though, Computer-Aided Design is the standard meaning. At Silicon Engineering Consultants, CAD services are used to produce precise 2D and 3D drawings that improve coordination and accuracy across architectural, structural, and MEP disciplines.
