Haven’t used it but my understanding is that Blender isn’t really CAD. Is there a way to use it for CAD?

Blender isn't really made for CAD at all, although there are few CAD plugins. It's more for artistic modelling like MAYA or Cinema3D.
There already are LLM plugins for Blenders and prompt integration for model generation, rigging and co.

If this is the case, they’ll want to improve the NURBS support within Blender. You can get some amazing results with subd, but digital twins require accuracy and you get that with NURBS geometry. Fortunately, Blender supports it already, it just needs some attention to tooling.
