CAD software for Mechanical design (mechanical engineers use it to design motors and transmissions and other machinery).

interesting, worked in cad/cam and arch viz but never ran into it called mcad. always specific applications like catia or autocad, onshape etc.. assumed it was an application name

Because if I say CAD then it would include KiCAD which is rock solid already and IMHO is perfect for most SME too

There’s also ECAD software for electronics. I believe a lot of product teams use both ECAD and MCAD. The former for designing the circuit board, the latter for designing the case and any moving parts.
