3D CAD Tool
Three-dimensional CAD tools create solid or surface geometry and assemblies. Parametric systems relate dimensions and features through constraints.
Product & engineering
Understand the product.
Model integrity, assembly relationships and exchange formats affect downstream use. A rendered image is separate from a model suitable for manufacturing, analysis or controlled revision.
What turns activity into demand
The tool’s value includes how reliably a model can be revised and reused. Shape complexity alone does not describe that capability. Separate CAD seats, modelling services and simulation or manufacturing modules. A model file and a qualified physical part are different deliverables.
The commercial boundary
Separate CAD seats, modelling services and simulation or manufacturing modules. A model file and a qualified physical part are different deliverables.
