Judging by the high tech equipment that is visible in the videos of Brad Harrison's facility, I would guess that he has used a lot of computer assisted design. I saw a 3D-printer there and that certainly requires a computer generated file to operate.
If by computer assisted design you mean using computer simulation to improve the design of reeds and other sound producing elements, I know that James Anataki (Turbodog) has created an 'artificial mouth' that he has used to study the bending of notes.

Subject: [Harp-L] Harmonica design
Greetings and salutations fellow harp enthusiasts. I was wondering if there
is anyone on the list that could shed any light on the subject of harmonica
design. To be more specific , my question is are present day harmonicas
designed using age old methods or is anyone now using computer assisted
design techniques or are new harmonicas designed by just improving upon old
patents and design ideas. If this is a subject that has already been
discussed ad infinitum, my apologies.
