The paper presents the application of CAD software to visualize and enhance understanding of spatial geometric concepts in stereometry education. Integrating CAD tools improves spatial thinking, supports teaching effectiveness, and helps overcome students’ difficulties with mental transformations and interpreting 2D representations. As part of the STEM framework, CAD integration aids in visualizing and analysing 3D objects while fostering analytical and engineering thinking. The study highlights the benefits of CAD systems for exploring spatial rotations, symmetries, and metric characteristics. This approach not only deepens students’ comprehension of abstract geometry but also develops practical skills relevant to future careers in technology and engineering. The findings are based on an experimental study conducted with 48 university students using both traditional and CAD-based teaching methods.
