In addition, ISO 13567 establishes rules for modifying the layer format itself, in the event that national standards bodies or specific projects may desire to do so. As long as these rules are followed, the CAD data set is considered to be in conceptual conformance with the ISO standard, which is an approved alternative to default conformance.

The demand for modeling wire meshes in SolidWorks has increased due to the expertise of CAD / CAM services. Here is more on it.

Through reverse engineering, an engineer tries to understand the machine or system parts in terms of design, construction as well as composition where applicable. Upon gathering all necessary information and details of all the parts of the machine, it can then be redesigned in order to come up with a new product/machine.

Reverse engineering makes use of an existing object to generate a new one. Often the new object is an improvement over the design of the old one, or, it may be an identical part needed to replace a malfunctioning part in a machine.

“Blocking out” the overall shape of a 3D model is one of the more tedious parts of designing. Initially, engineers have to take a simple shape, such as a sphere and transform it into the shape needed for their model. This initial process can take hours, but with having direct reference to build from models are able to appear similar to their desired outcome within minutes. Other products allow for engineers to import in reference to build from. This means purchasing more software to draw in, which in turn costs the company more money. For cost efficiency and quicker results, SolidWorks seems to be a viable option for engineering companies looking for a different route from Autodesk’s AutoCAD.
