  2. History of CAD software - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_CAD_software

    The invention of the 3D CAD/CAM is often attributed to French engineer Pierre Bézier ( Arts et Métiers ParisTech, Renault). Between 1966 and 1968, after his mathematical work concerning surfaces, he developed UNISURF to ease the design of parts and tools for the automotive industry. UNISURF then became the working base for the following ...

  3. FreeCAD - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FreeCAD

    FreeCAD is a general-purpose parametric 3D computer-aided design (CAD) modeler and a building information modeling (BIM) software application with finite element method (FEM) support. [2] It is intended for mechanical engineering product design but also expands to a wider range of uses around engineering, such as architecture or electrical ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AutoCAD

    A man using AutoCAD 2.6 to digitize a drawing of a school building. AutoCAD was derived from a program that began in 1977, and then released in 1979 [5] called Interact CAD, [6] [7] [8] also referred to in early Autodesk documents as MicroCAD, which was written prior to Autodesk's (then Marinchip Software Partners) formation by Autodesk cofounder Michael Riddle.

    A 3D CAD model. Computer-aided design ( CAD) is the use of computers (or workstations) to aid in the creation, modification, analysis, or optimization of a design. [ 1]: 3 This software is used to increase the productivity of the designer, improve the quality of design, improve communications through documentation, and to create a database for ...

  6. Multiview orthographic projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiview_orthographic...

    In technical drawing and computer graphics, a multiview projection is a technique of illustration by which a standardized series of orthographic two-dimensional pictures are constructed to represent the form of a three-dimensional object. Up to six pictures of an object are produced (called primary views ), with each projection plane parallel ...

  7. Orthographic projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthographic_projection

    Orthographic projection (also orthogonal projection and analemma) [a] is a means of representing three-dimensional objects in two dimensions.Orthographic projection is a form of parallel projection in which all the projection lines are orthogonal to the projection plane, [2] resulting in every plane of the scene appearing in affine transformation on the viewing surface.

  8. Evolution of the horse - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolution_of_the_horse

    The evolution of the horse, a mammal of the family Equidae, occurred over a geologic time scale of 50 million years, transforming the small, dog-sized, [ 1] forest-dwelling Eohippus into the modern horse. Paleozoologists have been able to piece together a more complete outline of the evolutionary lineage of the modern horse than of any other ...
