The Future of CAD | Jon Hirschtick | TEDxBeaconStreet

Mr. Hirschtick discusses the future of CAD technology. Through an interactive demonstration he exhibits the new possibilities in multi-tasking.

Jon Hirschtick is a leading innovator in CAD software development, responsible for two of the field's major paradigm shifts: SolidWorks, the first solid modeling 3D CAD and CAE system created for Microsoft Windows, and Onshape, the first CAD program developed fully for cloud implementation. Hirschtick is one of a handful of CAD executives to be awarded the prestigious CAD Society Leadership Award

so it's not really the "future of cad" it's just a demo for his particular tool

[THEARQUITEKT]

The future of CAD is learning a broad range of software (AutoCAD, ArchiCAD, SketchUp, SolidWorks, etc...) The market used to be only one software - AutoCAD, but now there are dozens of professional CAD software. Expertise yourself in 1-3 software and then be knowledgeable about several others. The market changes daily, regulations change almost hourly... so it's a continued learning market.

For construction drafting I find that mobile platforms are perfect. The use of an iPad specifically has streamlined my workflow pretty dramatically.

[howardman]

Imo I would rather work with CAD systems on a desktop.

[skidsolo]

Don’t let TEDx become a platform for advertising products

[majidhemati]

I found working with CAD programs on Desktop more user-friendly than doing the same thing on phone obviously.

[Jack.of.all.learning]

It is an important revolution. I recently took a job starting a CADD program at a public school and if it wasn't for OnShape I'd still be wearing my I.T. hat and/or fundraising hat trying to set things up.

[pratikm]

I would never let anyone mess with my CAD model while i am working

[simpernchong]

As an experienced Rhino 3D CAD user and trainer, this is pretty cool.. May i know can this program do organic modelling? Thanks for sharing.

[AvivMakesRobots]

Very cool! Looing forward to the future

[harivenkatesh]

CAD is not something you would do casually just like other 'phone centric' tasks such as browsing, texting etc..So why develop it for a phone ?!

[euekdjrkfjf]

Guys help me out its for and assignment. Explain what cad is and how will it continue to help the construction industry

[toehodgson]

Ian Malcolm: Ah, now eventually you do plan to have collaborative design demonstrated, on your collaboration demo, right? Hello?
John Hammond: I really hate that man.

[keralahunk]

Can we incorporate a machine learning program or an artificial intelligence for creation of p&id diagrams. The programs should be able to recognize the symbols from the library as Google handwriting input identifies the characters of English alphabets.

[ninjax]

i was watching this with a serious expression until the guy in the audience said 5 inches LMAOO

[kestasstasiunas]

I cant believe there were people who took this seriously

[y.z.]

Thanks for the talking. But what is new about that? That's something I've been doing for years.

[darylhunt]

It's a good concept but a keyboard and mouse make things go so much faster. Nice video though.🙂

[yk]

so what are your thoughts world? I was planing on taking cad at school is this going to turn out to be a jobless market?

[osborne]

CAD will be no doubt be replaced by Ai design-robot software, instant design in 3 seconds.
