The International CAD Conference and Exhibition series, commonly referred to as CAD’xx, was launched in 1974, with CAD’74, in Brighton, UK, was moved to Asia in 2004  and relocated to the USA in 2007. The conference themes support various industries, both traditional (hard) as well as emerging (soft). Hard industries include general manufacturing, industrial engineering, civil engineering, chemical engineering, mechanical engineering, design automation, automobiles and airplanes, defense industry, various forms of construction, architecture and building design, consumer electronics, assembly modeling, and electronic packaging. On the soft side the supported industries are: biology, general medicine, surgery, dental applications, optometry, jewelry and gemstone design, handicrafts, garment design, fashion industry, woodworking, shoe lasts, industrial design, and various forms of arts.
Emerging research areas: bio-CAD, nano CAD; knowledge-guided methods; soft-CAD; biologically inspired design; PLM, PDM, data mining; garment CAD; CAD in the arts; evolutionary algorithms; CAD and the Internet; design theory; CAD education; CAD engines, and human factors in CAD.
