This Throwback Thursday blog is focused on CAD data and how designers can better work with customers’ CAD designs without “reinventing the wheel,” so to speak.
- Do you really know how much time your employees spend trying to work with CAD designs?
- Would you be surprised if your CAD experts find it faster to simply start over and redraw a file?
- Think about the time and money spent to make CAD files usable, and then think about direct modeling.
Those questions are posed at the start of this strategy-based feature, and the author discusses the various CAD types that can be used, and the one she offers up as the most flexible and efficient: true direct modeling.
Take a few minutes to read “Reusing CAD Data,” and then visit MMT’s current issue to learn about “Leveraging CAD/CAM Advances.”
