Computer Aided Design
The pressures of getting products to market faster,
combined with advances in and lower costs of rapid
prototyping technology have created this rapidly growing
specialised sector. Almost every product you look at in
your home or office will at some stage in the
development process have been modelled or analysed on a
computer system.
The CAD software business is also subdivided between two
paradigms. The debate over which is best - solid or
surface modelling systems - is a longstanding one.
However, as a general rule the following characteristics
tend to be true
Solid systems tend to have better engineering
capabilities including parametric construction history,
where a part has 'intelligence' about the effects of
changes to it or an assembly of which it is part.
Surface systems tend to be able to describe more complex
'organic' forms and are often used by automotive and
creative companies. They can also demonstrate more
sophisticated rendering, animation and visualisation
capabilities.
Revolutionising The Design
Process
Linmech recognises the fact that CAD technology when
properly harnessed is an integral factor in creating new
products at lower costs and in tighter timescales, which
yield higher margins.
As a result we have found that one CAD software packeage
is not enough and have therefore invested heavily in
various solid and surface packages to suit our clients
requirements and to maintain our position ahead of the
competition.
