The Blurring Line Between AEC and MCAD — AEC and MCAD used to be entirely separate vertical markets, with no common ground between them. Their respective toolsets have gained in power, flexibility, and ease-of-use. At the same time, the users of such tools have become more sophisticated. Today, it is not uncommon to see AEC firms using Rhino for design, and there are third-party vendors delivering tools for architectural steel and concrete design built on top of SolidWorks and Inventor. Traditional AEC tools are also moving into manufacturing, notably project management and project portfolio management. What’s really going on here? Where will it end?
