“Not many people know, but computer aided design (CAD) was one of the first use-cases of computers in the 1960s. Computation has become a lot more powerful since and CAD software continues to push these boundaries. We are solving problems that were not meant to be possible before. This requires such a profound understanding of technology and a persistent effort to learn more. It’s so fulfilling to see how much people grow along this journey.” - Ákos Kapui, CTO
