Manufacturing capabilities
CAD & reverse engineering
Translate a drawing, a design idea or an existing component into manufacturing information. Engineering connects the digital model to tooling and production.
A connected process
Capture
Begin with drawings, digital files or physical components.
Develop
Create and refine the three-dimensional model.
Connect
Carry engineering information into tooling and production.
CAD engineering
Develop three-dimensional models from two-dimensional drawings and physical samples. Our documented software capabilities include SolidWorks and casting-simulation tools that support design and manufacturing planning.
Reverse engineering
Existing castings and worn patterns can be measured with a portable seven-axis CMM with an integrated laser scanner. Captured dimensions help define a digital model for replacement tooling or further engineering.
