    The document summarizes the key points from a slide show about the history and evolution of CAD (computer aided design). It traces CAD from its origins in hand drawing, to board drafting, to 2D CAD which allowed for easier modification and sharing of designs. 3D CAD then enabled actual 3D representations and testing of designs. Applications like finite element analysis and building information modeling were also discussed. The presentation concluded that CAD has revolutionized design, manufacturing and engineering by making the process more efficient and less costly.

    CAD Revolution Slide Show Notes Slide 1


    CAD= Computer aided design Before computer boom all hand drawn Sketchpad

    Thesis: Despite its humble beginnings CAD has reshaped the face of modern design and

    manufacturing and proven itself an invaluable engineering tool.

    Slide 2 Board Drafting


    Part art/ part science Various pencils, pens, geometric tools Difficult to make changes after the drawing is complete. Time consuming= more money (expensive) Fragile by nature

    Slide 3 2D CAD
    Front elevation of house Creates a detailed drawing with all of the info needed to create via a computer program Ease of

    o Modification o Reproduce o Share (customers and teammates) o Problem solve o Quicker labor means lower cost in long run

    Slide 4 3D CAD
    Actual 3D computer representation of object desired Parts can be test pit before production to avoid costly mistakes Less chance of interference problems vs. 2D or board drawings Responsible for swooping, sculpted shapes popular today o See next slide

    Slide 5 Mouse before


    Notice boxy non ergonomic shape

    Slide 6 Failure Analysis


    Can be used to find part failure limits in pre or post production FEA (finite element analysis) = a method for dividing up a very complicated problem into small elements that can be solved in relation to each other. Can test material limits pre or post production (hot spots in pistons) o 911 twin towers investigation

    Slide 7 BIM (building information modeling)


    Digital representation of a building and its components Meant to be kept from cradle to the grave Used to track construction materials/times Save money over conventional building due to loss and error Track building component life Leads to an efficient viable building

    Slide 8 CNC
    Computer aided machining, CAM/CNC Creates a numeric code that creates a part without human interface Capable of extreme tolerances Repeatability Cost over time vs. hand manufacturing

    Slide 9 Questions?
    Conclusion: As you can see CAD has revolutionized the world and the way we interact with it. Thank you for your time and patience, if you have any questions feel free to ask. Thx and good day.
