In 1987
Microcad was founded in 1987 from the experience and know-how of professionals who had already been using informatics applied to graphics for several years.
In 1988
The use of AutoCAD as a work tool, version 2.1 at the time, generated a strong demand for educational courses. In responce to this demand and beneficial to offering courses of superior quality, in 1988 MicroCAD became an Authorized AutoCAD Training Center (AutoCAD Training Center).
from 1992 to 1996
From 1992 to 1996 MicroCAD created the Philips LightCAD software on behalf of Philips, a software for planning and lighting calculations in internal and external environment, a product which was later distributed directly by MicroCAD.
In 1993
In addition to the execution of drawings and the organization of courses, following the several requests for AutoCAD customization in various manufacturing sectors (civil, mechanical, plant engineering), MicroCAD becomes Autodesk Registered Developer and in 1993 joins (together with two other Italian companies) the European AutoCAD application development group “AutoCAD Dream Team”, organized and supported directly by the European Autodesk Development Centre.
In 1994
In 1994 MicroCAD began the development of the Aimpes CAD software, for leather articles design, created for the National Leather Industries Association AIMPES.
The software, a PDM/CAD/CAM dedicated to leather goods, was initially intended only for modeling design with the aid of CAD.
In 1994
Composed of two modules (the graphic module on AutoCAD and the database). The introduction of product management makes Aimpes CAD a one of a kind product in its referenced market, allowing it to spread to other company branches as well as modeling.
The concept behind the software is that pattern making is not a separate branch of the company and the operations that are performed daily by pattern makers must be shared in real time with all other sectors of the production cycle as well.
in 1994
In 1994 MicroCAD created the 3D Electronic Offside Control System for Epson Italia SpA, a tridimensional control device in an AutoCAD system, used during the live braodcasting of Division A. football matches by Tele+ television station.
In 2000
The collaboration with Epson Meteo also began in 2000 with the creation of support tools for weather forecasting. The publishing software was used by Corriere della Sera, Gazzetta dello Sport and various other publications.
In 2000
At the same time, MicroCAD started developing a project, named EPE, with Seiko Epson Corporation, for measuring real time results of sport performances in the athletic field.
The software has been used for many years during the World Athletics Championships, European Championships, Coppa Italia etc.
in 2000
MicroCAD realized numerous specific applications for customers, solving particular problems such as parametric design of oil platforms for Agip Petroli, numerical control for the production of heat exchangers for Climaveneta Spa, parametric design of bicycle frames for Nordica Spa and many more.
