Abstract
We will first give a brief review of the historical background of CAD. Knowledge about the history provides a better understanding of the present state of the art, and may even enhance the creativity of those planning to work in this field [ALLA73]. Up to 1978, this review is based on [BENE79]. Another summary on the computer graphics part of the history of CAD is given in [CHAS81]. Early in the 1950s, the Servomechanisms Laboratory at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (M. I. T.) developed the first automatically controlled milling machine using the Whirlwind computer [PEAS52]. This led to the evolution of the Automatically Programmed Tool (APT) [BROW63]. We note that computer-aided manufacturing is not a descendant of CAD, but has a distinct origin of its own. The step from APT to design programs including computer graphics functions was outlined by Coons [COON63]. Sutherland, one of the first CAD pioneers, envisaged the designer sitting in front of a console using interactive graphics facilities developed at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology; he developed SKETCHPAD in 1963 [SUTH63]. The software principles of rubber band lines, circles of influence, magnification, rotation, and subfram-ing were born in those days.
