Throwback Thursday: Reusing CAD Data
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.
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.”
