=Rationale=
Before a complete CAD model is complete - or before the design is finalized - there are parts of the design that are already known or established. These constitute the [[3D CAD Library]]. The 3D CAD Library for a given development project can be assembled early on in the project, and can be used to draw from during the completion of the complete [[3D CAD]] model.

The parts established early for a given project's 3D CAD Library can be set by virtue of:

*[[Requirements]] for the product design
*[[Product Ecology]] - the treatment of OSE design as an integrated set, not a bunch of individual parts. As such, there are certain design specifications and part choices that are predetermined by virtue of Product Ecology.
*[[Part Libraries]] - a list of accepted parts, which should be specified in the Requirements
*Design discussions
*Review and Feedback
*[[Analysis of Industry Standards]]

And others.
