To the casual observer, they were just machines, cold, impersonal and unable to replicate the creative workflow of the skilled draftsperson. Yet to the visionary architect, CAD represented uncharted territory \u2014 a brave new world where design was limited only by your imagination, where time had been liberated from sketching and scratching. A world where changes were welcomed with the mere click of a mouse. (In hindsight, that might not have been the win we thought it was, she says, bypassing revision request nine hundred and sixty-seven.<\/em>)<\/p>\n Today, the once-revolutionary CAD is ubiquitous, the cornerstone of tens of thousands of design practices around the globe. The technology we all use (and love?) has paved the way for multiple new industries. Each of these blossoming industries has harnessed CAD technology in ways previously thought unimaginable, ultimately furnishing the architectural sector with tools like 3D printers, CNC machines and robots of many shapes and sizes. These technologies are fast becoming the trusted allies of architects. But where is digital fabrication headed, and can we keep up?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
