The Press at SWW08 got a special presentation from Jon Hirschtick, founder of SolidWorks and CEO up till 2001. He’s an MIT grad and should know a thing or two about CAD history and the future possibilities since, ya know, he’s been a large part of making it happen.
Jon is also a Keynote speaker at this years SolidWorks World. Who knows what he’ll be talking about, but if it’s anything like this presentation, it’s bound to be informative and entertaining.
Highlights?
- Looking at CAD in the broadest possible sense… over the span of 50 years
- Where it all started – good ol’ 1963
- Early tech
- The commercialization of CAD
- Putting CAD on Windows
- 5 top trends for the future of CAD
Sound interesting? take a look. A big thanks to Ben Eadie (SolidMentor) for getting this on video.

SolidSmack is a very small behemoth of an online community about 3D CAD, technology, design, robots, and ninjas… Ok, maybe not ninjas so much, but those guys are COOL so there just might be something about some dang ninjas.
