A large CAD conversion job is when you bring in an outsourced team to handle a lot of CAD or engineering work for you. It can involve updating hundreds of files, creating new ones, or optimizing the parts that are currently in your library. At CAD/CAM Services, we’ve... 
New technology does a great job of expediting projects that would otherwise take forever. If you needed to draw a realistic model of a complex part you’re reverse engineering, how long would it take? How accurate would the final part be? People turn to 3D scanning to... 
3D printing is great for quick and affordable prototyping, but it’s a poor choice for full-scale production — people use injection molders for that. Even though 3D printers and injection molders cover both ends of the spectrum, there can be some overlap between them.... 
With most companies, developing the next big thing is the sole focus. This means a lot of time researching, developing, analyzing, and innovating. When it comes to innovation, there are a few avenues you can go down. A common option today is to outsource the CAD work.... 
The idea of a digital twin is a relatively new one. Since 3D CAD became popular, companies are realizing that they can optimize and streamline their product design and development efforts. How is that possible? In this guide, we’ll explain how and why digital twins... 
What are you supposed to do with a drawer full of hand-drawn engineering drawings? If you want to update them, make a 3D model, or digitize them, it starts with a CAD conversion. This process takes some effort and time, but the results speak for themselves. In this... 
Every engineering team that we’ve talked to over the decades has had three simple goals: save time, save money, and beat the competitor. Well, 3D printing can achieve all three of these goals. Compared to traditional machining, it’s a better option in a lot of... 
From cost reduction to enhancement in efficiency to promoting innovation, 3D printing is giving rise to almost every manufacturing industry and has made a significant impact in additive manufacturing. Looking back at the development of 3D printing to see how its... 
Dassault Systèmes CATIA is a powerful 3D CAD-CAM software. Models created in CATIA are widely used in the aerospace and automotive industries. CATIA is a 3D computer-aided design (CAD) program capable of handling large numbers of mechanical parts in its assemblies. ... 
As with most three-dimensional design software, CATIA begins with a sketch, which is then expanded into a 3D model. However, many designs already exist as two-dimensional drawing files (mainly .dwg files), so redesigning these can be hugely time-consuming and...
