3D Solid Modeling

Solid Modeling is the creation of a computer-generated 3D drawing of an object, a "Digital master model". The 3D CAD file that is created is the same file that the Stereolithography machines use to build from. The file format that most SLA machines operate on is STL. Most advanced CAD programs can export this format directly. A Digital master model can be created from an existing object either through 'digitizing' and or reverse engineering.

Our in house staff can assist you with you Digital master model needs, such as 2D to 3D Drawings, Solid Model Repair and Modification, and STL model production for Stereolithography.

Why Design with Digital Master Models?

The ability to develop digital master product models with CAE/CAD/CAM software technology has made it possible for you to more fully understand products from a "manufacturability" standpoint during the early design stage. The depth and richness of the product information contained in a digital master model makes it easier to more fully communicate this information to everyone involved in the product development process: including manufacturing and production, as well as marketing, management and your supplier network.

Digital master models help you develop and evaluate multiple design concepts so that the final product more closely matches customer expectations. Quality becomes part of the design process itself and can be built-in instead of added-on. You'll have advance information about the product's shape, behavior and cost long before the fabrication of costly physical models. Digital master models help you minimize scrap, reduce downtime and eliminate wasted or redundant operations.

This approach enables teams to work concurrently by providing common ground for interrelated product development tasks. Instead of having individuals creating one piece of information at a time, the digital master model enables various disciplines to work together much earlier in the product development process, which can help reduce time-to-market.

Helping you bring designs to life

That's why so many of the world's most successful manufacturers are using Solid Modeling to develop better products more rapidly and more cost effectively. Develop reliable, stable and increasingly complete master product models.
