Main points:
- CAD increases value on every step. You can design with extreme level of detail (up to every screw), but it is not always necessary
- CAD recently became much easier to learn, and accessible to wider range of users
- Some software packages combine assembly, part design, and rendering in one
- Publishing CAD designs make it much easier for readers to understand and adopt the design
- A lot of authors already use CAD to render, but don't attach design files to papers
- Companies provide CAD model files of thier parts, and use them to manufacture hardware
- Free and open-source CAD software gets better and commercial systems offer more access for academics&hobbyists
