In the 80's I brought in the first CAD system for our laboratory. It was an
Applicon and four work stations cost $480,000. Even at that price, we found
that we could break-even on new drawings and make money on later revisions.
A much better work station can new be purchased for less than $10,000. After
I retired, integrated design and analysis tools we could only fantasize
about are becoming available. It's been interesting to watch the evolution.
