Q. Give the example of CAD Customization.
Answer:
What is CAD Customization
In engineering scenarios, one may encounter complex design situations. Previously,
designs were drawn on sheets and manufactured manually using old school techniques. But
now, things have changed with the introduction of CAD customization and design automation.
• CAD customization is the development of support tools and technology which drives CAD
automation of repetitive tasks in the design process.
• Design automation is a knowledge based engineering approach which logically combines
various engineering concepts with real time application study during product development.
The use of CAD software allows designers to introduce more details and save a considerable
amount of time.
Customization Drives Automation:
When CAD customization and design automation are integrated in engineering application, a
number of advantages are obtained. With CAD customization, the production of a drawing and
design of a mechanical component can be generated with great precision. This allows engineers
to make quick modifications to any problems observed in the design. In other words, the design
can be customized in accordance with the needs outlined before or after the CAD design is
generated. Moreover, mechanical customization and manufacturing automation go hand in
hand in reference to CAD software application.
Benefits in Design, Process, and Systems:
Companies have the ability to automate design, process, and systems integration when
customizing CAD software. For instance, many of the repetitive tasks can be computerized
within CAD software. With customization of CAD functions, companies automate redundant
tasks and experience great time savings. CAD customization allows engineers to keep their core
focus on product development without having to worry about support functions. The benefits of
CAD customization include enhanced productivity, reduced human errors, and systems
integration. In addition, customization and automation of CAD software enriches advancement
in areas such as the digital thread.
EXAMPLES OF CAD CUSTOMIZATION SERVICES:
• Design process automation
• Drafting automation
• Macros development
• API and toolbar customization
• User interface creation
EXAMPLES OF PROCESS AUTOMATION WITH
CAD CUSTOMIZATION:
• Generate bill of materials of developed product with parts lists
• Print bulk sheet job without supervision
• Assign steps with computer or manual decision making
• Generate logs of all processes generated
• CAD models & drawing creation with minimal inputs
• Revise drawing tables
