CAD Modeling, (Computer-Aided Design) Modeling CAD Modeling is
the use of computer technology as aid in the design and drafting
process by creating three dimensional 3D models. The crucial
design element of CAD design is modeling of the components and
parts of the system, which for some sophisticated parts (such as
injection molded plastic parts) is almost impossible to describe
in conventional 2D techniques. Such parts are modeled to high
level of accuracy and is exported to electronic file formats
than used to make injection molding tools.
CAD modeling of the
sophisticated parts often require CAD surfacing as special
discipline enabling designers to create aesthetically pleasing
organic shapes. Even the items that are off shelf (buy items)
(switches, motors, etc) are modeled in order to complete the
design and engineering effort by providing the most efficient
internal layout, mounting features, as well as any necessary
assembly or service requirements. Some low end CAD software used
to create 3D models of components and assemblies may have
limitations.
DESIGNLORE uses only high end CAD softwares
enabling very accurate models and providing lots of design
freedom.
