Interface design is customised to match the desired specifications process and steps.

Design and engineering rules are embedded into the logic to ensure the part meets manufacturing and operational requirements.

The Custom CAD Modeler is particularly appropriate to custom part manufacturers that do not have a catalogue of standard parts since customers typically specify the designs themselves.

However, engineers and designers also need CAD models of standard parts displayed in different positions.

For instance: a spring at a specific level of deflection, or a cylinder with the rod at an exact point in the stroke.

The CCM makes this possible in a very user-friendly manner.

The CCM is truly the highest form of fast and detailed design support.

It also offers a distinct sales advantage to that manufacturer, as it cements their product into the design at the beginning of the design cycle.

Further, the part number and name of the manufacturer are "engraved" into the CAD model for future reference.

Custom CAD Modeler demonstrations of an air cylinder, and integral shaft and wheel hub bearings are available on the VirtualCAD website.
