CAD is Back on the Map
January 3, 2012
It looks like CAD is about to go through a growth spurt. Design News reports in “CAD Resurgence Fueled by Technology” that 2012 could be a stellar year for CAD “thanks to the rise of technologies like cloud computing, mobile apps and tablets.”
The CAD resurgence is lead by the younger generation of engineers. Kathleen Maher, an analyst for Jon Peddie Research says that this generation is looking for efficiencies and:
“[t]hey’re looking for better ways to create data and more ways to use the data. Most important, CAD customers are visual people and they want to interact with visual data, including 3D, simulations, and point cloud data.”
Watch for CAD to “evolve with lightweight, more easy-to-use, less expensive tools.”
As CAD expands and advances this year, so will the likes of Inforbix. Their apps, which find, re-use and share product data, are compatible with most CAD programs. Inforbix is efficient, innovative and exactly what the younger generation is looking for. We suspect 2012 is going to be a good year.
