How Computer-Aided Design Changed the World
Computer-aided design (CAD) has evolved over the past several decades and changed the world for the better.
CAD is a term used to define software that engineers, designers, architects, and now the everyday citizen can use to mock-up ideas digitally.
This has revolutionized the way that professionals and creatives ideate on a regular basis and has made it easier and more accessible to access the tools needed to make new ideas come to life.
The Early Days of Blueprinting
The 1970s marked the early days of blueprinting, when mocking-up and prototyping first became imperative to many industries.
However, during this time, this process had not yet been digitized, and designers had to use drafting tables, pens, rules, curves, templates, and scales to put their ideas in motion.
This process was not only time-consuming but also prone to error and inaccessible to many people.
Additionally, these tools were not cheap, furthering the inaccessibility of design.
CAD has made it easier and more accessible to access the tools needed to make new ideas come to life.
