Taking on data conversions that can't be
automated
Cadcam-E's engineers can economically perform CAD data conversions, particularly those involving feature-based solids, that can't be cost-effectively automated
Cadcam-E is now offering a full range of cost-effective data translation, engineering and software development services The company's engineers can economically perform CAD data conversions, particularly those involving feature-based solids, that can't be cost-effectively automated
They provide a wide range of other engineering services including 3D design, 2D documentation, solid modeling, finite element analysis and other computer aided engineering tasks.
The company also provides software development services and offers licensable components for reading and writing CAD files independent of the CAD systems that created them.
Cadcam-E engineering and software development services draw from the expertise that the company has developed in becoming a leading vendor of data exchange products between CAD systems.
The company has developed leading edge translation solutions for nearly all top CAD/CAM systems including Catia, Unigraphics, Pro/Engineer, SolidWorks, SolidEdge, AutoCAD Mechanical Desktop and introduced new products on almost a weekly basis.
As a result, its engineers can bring world-class skills to any project that involves CAD data, such as converting large volumes of legacy data to a new CAD system, converting 2D data to 3D, delivering data to suppliers, etc.
The company also provides more general engineering services at all levels of the supply chain and every phase of the product development cycle.
The company frequently assists OEMs by providing PDM services, standards management, change order management, data quality management and audits.
Typical services provided to Tier 1 suppliers include engineering design, data conversion, engineering analysis and collaborative design services.
For subcontractors, Cadcam-E typically delivers design, collaboration, data conversion, viewing and plotting services.
Cadcam-E also offers a wide range of software development services.
The company can take full responsibility for product development and quality assurance of software products, deliver modules such as CAD/CAM data translators and assist in any part of the development process.
The company offers a full range of components that offer seamless interoperability between CAD systems and other engineering applications.
Cadcam-E also delivers custom software applications for engineering and manufacturing applications and has experience in providing a wide range of web-based applications including 3D storefronts and catalogs.
Cadcam-E's web site delivers interoperability solutions to the user's desktop over the web.
The user simply registers for the service, downloads the translation software and installs it on their desktop.
Cadcam-E offers conversion solutions between Catia, Unigraphics, Pro/Engineer, SolidWorks, SolidEdge, Mastercam, Mechanical Desktop, Surfcam and Varimetrix systems and Parasolid, Acis, Iges and Step formats.
Users can download the conversion software to their own machine from the cadcam-e.com web site at no charge, then pay only a very reasonable fee for each file that is converted.
The pay-per-use approach pioneered by Cadcam-E fits the subcontracting model well because the cost of the translation can usually be charged to the customer's project.
