CAD Future and GrabCAD
Hardi Meybaum is the founder of GrabCAD, a social network for engineers. Some key events in CAD history include the introduction of Unigraphics II in 1983. STEP was developed in 1983 to allow transfer of CAD data between systems. Autodesk shipped early versions of AutoCAD in 1983-1984. In 1984, DUCT continued development in the UK and a Hungarian physicist smuggled Macs into his country to develop early 3D CAD software. GrabCAD was founded to enable collaboration between engineers and help users find engineering work.

History 1983 Unigraphics IIintroduced to market 1983 Applicon introduces BRAVO! first 32-bit VAX based mechanical design/NC system 1983 The first German and French versions of AutoCAD 1983 The work has started for a new reliable and universal system of transferring data called STEP (Standard for the Exchange of Product model data). STEP can transfer CAD data, to include complete details of product modeling including materials and various design parameters. The first generally available STEP translator was released in 1991 by EDS Unigraphics. 1983 Autodesk ships version 1.2 of AutoCAD in April, version 1.3 in August and version 1.4 in October. 1984 CoCreate Software Inc., was established in 1984 as a division of Hewlett-Packard Company with the charter to expand the scope and focus for development of computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) software products. In 1996, CoCreate became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hewlett-Packard Co. and expanded its product offerings to include collaboration software solutions. 1984 DUCT development continued at Cambridge together with the small team established at Delta in Birmingham. By 1984 the Birmingham team was larger than that at Cambridge and the unique features of DUCT began to be recognised. It was one of the very few systems developed from the beginning to design and machine products. The equal emphasis on design and machining made it different to its competitors and this was appreciated by the users. Most other systems had developed 2D draughting first, followed by 3D modelling with machining added later. 1984 In 1984, a Hungarian physicist, Gabor Bajor, smuggled two Macs into his country. At the time, ownership of personal computers was illegal under Communist rule. Using Pascal, he and a teenager, Tamas Hajas worked to write a 3D CAD program for the Mac which will be the beginning of Graphsoft Company. 1984
