World Leaders of CAD/BIM in Humorous Illustrations of isicad

Some 16 years ago, LEDAS founded isicad.ru, which since has become the leading Russian-language Web portal covering engineering software. Over the years, it has published about 10,000 articles on topics like CAD, CAM, CAE, PLM, BIM, generative design, cloud technology, additive manufacturing, and digital twins.

The portal reports on developments in both the Russian and global markets. It offers readers news articles, interviews on technological advances, trends in innovation, financial results, and described the business development of significant companies. As well, isicad.ru placed promotional materials on the portal, including the home page, for nearly all of the major players in the Russian market – Ansys, Autodesk, ASCON, Dassault Systѐmes, Hexagon, PTC, Siemens Digital Software, Top Systems, and more.

LEDAS' long-running, actively-maintained isicad.ru portal, along with the CAD conferences held during the years 2004-2013 with the participation of global IT companies, contributed to the development of the engineering software business in Russia.

It allowed LEDAS to establish new business contacts and strengthen its existing ones. In addition to its traditional areas of competency in CAD, 3D modeling, and geometry software development, the company earned recognition worldwide for its implementation of new projects in the fields of cloud technology, 3D orthodontics and digital dentistry software development, and so on.

Our monthly publication has never been published on paper. Nevertheless, it has always been accompanied by virtual covers, which in an informal and even humorous way reflect the most notable article or event during the month. Often, the cover image is based on a well-known world or Russian theme from literary and cinematic backgrounds. All of the covers released to date are posted at https://isicad.ru/ru/cover_all.php.

Below you find the covers from 2020 and a mostly adequate translation of the titles. Translation to English is sometimes difficult, especially when the folklore source is Russian.
