that's for PCB design, it's not a 3D CAD tool

The Wikipedia template for CAD software

> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:CAD_software

distinguishes between 5 types of CAD software:

1. Mechanical

2. Architectural (AEC)

3. Electrical

4. Optical

5. Garment

Thus: KiCad is clearly a CAD application, though not of the Mechanical, but of the Electrical category (and is listed in the linked template as such).
