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...
The design has come a long way since the days of paper and pencil drafting. Even 2D CAD, a staple of design and engineering since the 1980s has mostly been replaced by 3D design, PLM, and PDM. If you’re a CAD designer or engineer, the tool and processes you...
The American Institute of Architects, AIA, sets standards for computer-aided design — or CAD — documents. Most building projects require drawings that meet AIA standards. AIA layering standards assign specific layer names, content descriptions, colors,...
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...
Designing an engine or its internal components using SolidWorks requires mastering the tools and techniques employed in a typical SolidWorks automotive design project. This means that you need to learn about SolidWorks tools including equations and configurations to...
Time for a Change: Convert Paper Drawings to AutoCAD Organizations that use AutoCAD and that have legacy paper drawings often waste time when they need to convert the paper drawing to an AutoCAD drawing. Knowing exactly what to do when it comes time to handle old...
