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 that are not practical by hand

CAD Revolution Software packages generate 3-D views that can be rotated or modified at will

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 CAD Revolution

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
