Computer Aided Design (CAD) Revolution Before CAD, engineering projects often required large teams of draftsman as illustrated:
CAD Revolution Hand drawings have major disadvantages: • Complex drawings are tedious • Labor/Time Intensive • Insertions, deletions, or corrections often require a complete redrawing
CAD Revolution CAD stations significantly reduced the labor volume. In many instances, only a single draftsman is necessary.
CAD Revolution Plotters easily and quickly draw prints thatare notpracticalby hand
CAD Revolution Software packages generate 3-D views that can be rotated or modified at will
CAD Revolution Even the most advanced CAD packages are limited by: • 3-D drawing on a 2-D screen • Most drawings are not full scale • Complex modeling and part placement may still prove difficult
HCGI Objective HCGI is the next major evolution of CAD – generate full sized images that emanate into 3-D space
HCGI Objective Physical limitations abound everywhere. HCGI is no different. Initial objectives are: • Generate static images that can fit within a 6 x 3 x 3 foot space • Rotate, move, place or modify the image or individual components at will • Provide a full color palette
