About Us


Computer Design, Inc. was founded in 1985 as an engineering consulting firm and Authorized AutoCAD Dealer. For many years Computer Design operated as a full service CAD/CAM systems integrator; however, unlike many conventional AutoCAD Dealers of the time, Computer Design was also heavily involved in software development. By 1990, the software development aspect of the business had evolved into the Striker Systems division of Computer Design. Striker Systems is now a world leader in the development and distribution of software for the sheet metal fabrication and metal stamping industries.


The Striker Systems line of software products has continued to advance over the years to meet the increasing challenges of today’s manufacturers. One constant in the evolution of Striker Systems is that many products are based on Autodesk technology, including AutoCAD, AutoCAD OEM, and Autodesk Inventor. Through this development and distribution relationship with Autodesk, Striker Systems has maintained a high level of expertise on Autodesk software including AutoCAD, AutoCAD Mechanical, Autodesk Inventor, and the complete line of data management solutions. This expertise includes software implementation, training, technical support, consulting, and development services.


Computer Design is now making these software services available to the broader Autodesk software user community. The Striker Technology Solutions division of Computer Design was established in 2007 and has achieved the distinction as the only Autodesk Authorized Training Center (ATC) in the state of Tennessee. The mission of Striker Technology Solutions is to assist design and manufacturing professionals with all of their Autodesk software service needs.
