Future planning is key for any business - and through this survey we want to assist you in that process.
The survey reports perceived importance and actual and future usage trends for 15 topics related to CAD and reveals insights including:
Strong growth potential in ‘Augmented Reality’, ‘Mobile access to CAD’, ‘Cloud based CAD’ and ‘Pay As you Go access to CAD’
At the present time only about 6% are using Augmented Reality, but when we ask respondents about future usage, potential growth rates are high. In 3 - 5 years our survey findings suggest a growth rate of 133%
Adoption of cloud based applications has increased steadily over the past 4 years, and currently 12% of our survey respondents are using cloud based CAD applications. We had anticipated that the growth rate would be higher based on previous surveys but again future predictions of growth are high at 58% in the next year and 125% over 3 - 5 years
3D Modelling and 2D Drafting are leading trends with high usage and high perceived importance, these are also the most important trends for businesses at the present time. Other leading trends include Simulation/CAE, PDM and CAM
Sources of information: Social media continues to be rated as the number one source of information on CAD Industry, this source is up significantly y-on-y. In this wave of CAD trends, we wanted to further quantify which social media and added response statements such as YouTube, LinkedIn, Twitter, Instagram and Facebook.
