WHAT IS CAD DESIGN?
CAD (Computer-Aided Design) uses specialized software to create 3D models, engineering drawings, and product design data.
CAD helps companies shorten product development time, reduce design errors, and make design changes more efficiently throughout the development process.
CHOOSE THE RIGHT CAD SOFTWARE
Siemens NX CAD
A high-end CAD solution for manufacturers that need to design complex products, molds, industrial machinery, and advanced mechanical systems. NX CAD also supports integrated CAD/CAM/CAE workflows within a unified engineering platform.
Solid Edge
A professional 3D CAD solution featuring Synchronous Technology, suitable for small and medium-sized manufacturers that require mechanical design, sheet metal design, and product development capabilities with an optimized total cost of ownership.
WHY USE CAD?
Accurate 3D Design
Create highly accurate parametric 3D models for part design, assemblies, and complex surfaces.
CAD solutions enable engineers to control dimensions, tolerances, and technical requirements from the early stages of product development.
Faster Engineering Drawing Creation
Automatically generate 2D engineering drawings from 3D models, including dimensions, symbols, annotations, and other technical documentation.
Changes made to the 3D model can be reflected in associated drawings, helping engineering teams reduce documentation time and maintain design consistency.
Flexible Design Modification and Updates
Modify product geometry, dimensions, and structures without redesigning the entire model from the beginning.
This flexibility helps manufacturers respond more quickly to customer requirements and engineering changes during product development.
Reduce Errors During Product Development
Perform assembly checks, detect interferences, identify design issues, and standardize engineering data before production.
This helps companies reduce engineering rework, minimize manufacturing errors, and improve overall product quality.
Seamless Integration with CAM and CAE
CAD data can be used directly for CNC programming (CAM) and engineering simulation (CAE).
Integrated workflows reduce unnecessary file conversion, maintain data consistency, and improve continuity from product design through manufacturing.
Shorten Time to Market
Standardize design processes, increase design reuse, and accelerate new product development.
Manufacturers can reduce design lead times, shorten development cycles, and improve their ability to respond to changing market requirements.
