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...
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...
Take a Look at Our Meshing Case Study! To obtain a proper STL file, you need a program that triangulates the points to create the appropriate vectors. The shell created in STL is what the cutting machine slices. Here are a few tips, as outlined below. Point cloud...
Take a Look at Our Case Studies! Solidworks as a platform offers two main 2D to 3D pathways; drawing from scratch and remodeling existing ‘.DWG’ and ‘.DXF’ files as 3D models. The functionality of importing an existing 2D drawing and upgrading it into a...
Computer-Aided Design (CAD) is no longer an extra aid, but a must for the design process. If we take heed of the dynamic for today’s market, traditional design is unlikely to satisfy rapid innovation demand. On the other hand, CAD offers tools that thoroughly...
