CAD Trends—Real Change or Marketing Hype

A Complimentary CIMdata Educational Webinar with Dr. Ken Versprille, Executive Consultant, CIMdata

28 January 2021
11:00 EST | 08:00 PST | 17:00 CET

How familiar are the following statements to you and your organization?

Our staff is preoccupied with new applications and tools that do not deliver business benefits.
We have increased our investment in solutions with little Return-On-Investment.
There is a lack of understanding of future impact from internal CAD changes.
Our expectations of improved CAD design workflows have been dashed.

At the beginning of each new year, various technology groups, industry publications, and CAD solution providers offer their opinions on future trends in CAD. These opinions are truly subjective. This year is no different. An internet search on “CAD Trends” yields 16.2 million hits. While not all are current to 2021, many are. But are even the most recent predictions credible?

CIMdata believes that a Trend in CAD results in an impact on the way CAD operates or how a CAD designer interacts with CAD design software. It does not include such topics as “CAD in the Cloud.” That is an application packaging topic at best, such as CAD on a workstation or CAD on a PC. A trend must affect the way CAD works internally, such as when parametric modeling was new, or affects the internal structures within CAD. For example, Generative Design is not a trend but the integration of mesh geometry with precise geometry to support generative design within CAD is a trend.

This webinar will look at the types of “CAD Trends” offered by various organizations in 2021 and assess whether they truly impact CAD or are just hype promoting a technology solution.

What will I learn?

You will learn about the real impact on CAD from advertised CAD Trends.
You will understand the potential short- and long-term benefits derived from CAD trend changes.
You will be in a better position to evaluate whether new trending solutions will benefit your business.

Who should attend?

Product planners and managers, MCAD team leaders, senior-level MCAD users, product managers, and anyone who wants to learn how to measure purported CAD Trends hyped in the industry.

During the webinar you’ll also have the opportunity to ask questions about the topics discussed.
