Ash, I’m not talking about CAD in that sense of the word. CAD in the sense I’m using it means “cardboard aided design”, as in making your design at full-scale using a cardboard mock-up. It’s a play on words. I’m familiar with computer-based CAD as well, but don’t find it very intuitive and prefer working with my hands given the choice.

It’s actually quite interesting to me watching (for example) car design change as CAD software has grown. You can directly see new features in software appearing in the physical universe around us. A good example would be watching the effect that NURBS software had on design.

Hey Shannon – I go to school for packaging design and know a lot about CAD.. We use this program, I don’t know if you’ve heard of it, called ArtiosCAD, and it makes cartons and containers. I use it all day at work and I actually have a cad table where I can program things in ArtiosCAD and the table will cut out the shapes or boxes for me. Might be worth looking into :) The program is very expensive but I know people who have been able to download it.
Love your blog and your creativity, you’re always on the go and making something and its an inspiration! Looking forward to seeing more of the bike :)
