  • CAD Software History, 1960S
    History CAD software started its migration out of research and into commercial use in the 1970s. Just as in the late 1960s most CAD software continued to be developed by internal groups at large automotive and aerospace manufacturers, often working in conjunction with university research groups. Throughout the decade automotive manufacturers such as: Ford (PDGS), General Motors (CADANCE), Mercedes-Benz (SYRCO), Nissan (CAD-I released in 1977) and Toyota (TINCA released in 1973 by Hiromi Araki's team, CADETT in 1979 also by Hiromi Araki) and aerospace manufacturers such as: Lockheed (CADAM), McDonnell-Douglas (CADD) and Northrop (NCAD, which is still in limited use today), all had large internal CAD software development groups working on proprietary programs. Some of the mathematical description work on curves was developed in the early 1940s by Robert Issac Newton from Pawtucket, Rhode Island. CAD software uses either vector based graphics to depict the objects of traditional drafting, or may also produce raster graphics showing the overall appearance of designed objects. CAD is used in the design of tools and machinery and in the drafting and design of all types of buildings, from small residential types (houses) to the largest commercial and industrial structures (hospitals and factories). CAD is mainly used for detailed engineering of 3D models and/or 2D drawings of physical components. CAD stand for computer-aided design. Architects, drafters, engineers, and artists use CAD software to create plans and construction drawings. Computer Aided Design (CAD) is a form of design in which people work with computers to create ideas, models, and prototypes Most CAD software programs were still 2D replacements for drafting, with the main benefits to manufacturers being: i) reduced drawing errors, and, ii) increased reusability of drawings.

There are 405,535 employees and 798,152 stockholders at year-end. Organization IBM President John F. Akers succeeds John R. Opel as chief executive officer, effective February 1. Mr. Akers also is to head the Corporate Management Board and serve as chairman of its Policy Committee and Business Operations Committee. PC dealer sales, support and operations are transferred from the Entry Systems Division (ESD) to the National Distribution Division, while the marketing function for IBM’s Personal Computer continues to be an ESD responsibility. IBM announces in September a reorganization of its U.S. marketing operations. Under the realignment, to take effect on Jan. 1, 1986, the National Accounts Division, which markets IBM products to the company’s largest customers, and the National Marketing Division, which serves primarily medium-sized and small customer accounts, are reorganized into two geographic marketing divisions: The North-Central Marketing Division and the South-West Marketing Division. The National Distribution Division, which directs IBM’s marketing efforts through Product Centers, value-added remarketers, and authorized dealers, is to merge its distribution channels, personal computer dealer operations and systems supplies field sales forces into a single sales organization. The National Service Division is to realign its field service operations to be symmetrical with the new marketing organizations.

  • Graphics: Into the 21 St Century
    AC 2007-327: GRAPHICS: INTO THE 21ST CENTURY La Verne Abe Harris, Arizona State University Frederick Meyers, The Ohio State University Page 12.792.1 Page © American Society for Engineering Education, 2007 Graphics: Into the 21st Century Abstract Graphical plans for construction of machinery and architecture have evolved over the last 6,000 years beginning from hieroglyphics to drawings on printable media, from the “Golden Age” of engineering graphics to the innovation of computer graphics and prototyping. The evolution of engineering design graphics as a profession has also evolved. Years before we entered the 21st century, higher education began to address the changes that technology brought to the curriculum. Now that we have entered the 21st century, we must move forward with technological innovations and creative thinking, but be cautious that we do not lose the art of freehand sketching. This paper traces the journey of engineering design graphics and the impact it has had in the academe and on the profession and the way designers work. It addresses the future of the field and the inevitable changes that emerging technologies will bring. Introduction Whether an idea is scratched on stone or comes in the form of freehand sketching on a napkin, visualization in engineering design is paramount. The ability to accurately perceive the visual- spatial world and transform these perceptions is one of the eight human intelligences i. Basic spatial skills, which are necessary for success in engineering design, are based on the ability to "mentally manipulate, rotate, twist, or invert pictorially presented visual stimuli." ii The creative thinking team process of brain-writing , where the primary mode of communication is freehand sketching, is a popular alternative to the verbal brainstorming technique today.
