Software

At Mecatec Design we use 3D modeling and 2D drafting CAD programs. These are updated regularly to ensure we work with only the latest tools.

The CAD Software design environment includes a broad range of solutions for the design of complex mechanical products. It is based around a solid parametric model from which assemblies can be made.
Assembly arrangements enable us to create models that accurately represent components in alternate positions. These assemblies and parts can be rendered to provide a true picture. 

Parametric modeling accelerates design modifications so that changes can be made easily.

After a model is completed the data can be used to generate a machining program on a CAM system, to create a rapid prototype, or even to run simulation on a CAE program.

In most cases the 3D models are used to create 2D drawings for the workshop. Once the drawings have been made, a BOM
(Bill of Material) can also be generated.
