2D to 3D Conversion

February 26, 2008

The next topic under  Cad Cam Services blog is 2D to 3D conversion, its a important process in stereo viewing

After the 2D to 3D CAD conversion, these images can be used for stereo viewing in various forms: anaglyphs, slides, polarized stereo presentations, view-masters, etc.

We provide modeling services for customers moving from the 2D to the 3D world. We can assist you in re-creating hi-quality, detailed, true three-dimensional model of your mechanical part from your old 2D drawing. We provide 2D CAD drafting for all aspects of mechanical and engineering building services including electrical, mechanical, civil, architectural, plumbing and HVAC. Our 2D to 3D conversion services deal with all phases of your project from tender submission, comment, and construction to as-fitted/record status. We provide MicroStation conversions to and from AutoCAD for all types of layout, outline, and building service drawings. We also convert scan or velum drawings, complete with imperial to metric conversions to bring your drawings up to date with your specified CAD application and CAD standards.

We also offer complete scan-to-CAD, 2D to 3D conversions and CAD drafting services at competitive prices with the precision and quality that you expect. You can upgrade your CAD system to 3D solid modeling with our 2D to 3D conversion services. Our 2D to 3D conversion service assists you in converting older drawings into 3D solid models. Models are available in a number of common native and generic file formats. Manual drawings or electronic drawings in AutoCAD format can be converted to Catia, SolidWorks, Pro-E, or IronCAD solid models. Drawings, photographs and paintings make excellent subjects for a 3D drafting. Our capabilities include the ability to produce native CAD formats that are compatible with most CAD systems.

Designpresentation can convert your existing scan copies into any electronic CAD format. The scan copy drawings are 100% manually drafted into CAD to match the original sheets exactly. All CAD formats are drafted at full-scale, dimensionally accurate and 100% line connections with AIA layering (AIA Standards – American Institute of Architects) or a layering system of your choice.

Our extensive skill base and production capabilities allow us to execute 3D projects using a range of software/applications. We utilize the latest standards and techniques in 2D to 3D conversions to develop your CAD projects. Having your original documents converted in 3D to CAD enables you to store your files in a more organized and efficient manner, giving you greater flexibility and increasing productivity. We have skilled draftsmen working under domain experts (to ensure consistency and quality).

Hardware and OS technologies user in CAD

The next in CAD CAM Services is Hardware and OS technologies used. CAD computer workstations are Windows based PCs. Some CAD systems also run on one of the the Unix operating systems and a few with Linux. Some CAD systems such as QCad or NX provide multiplatform support including Windows, Linux, UNIX and Mac OSX.

There is no special hardware is required with the exception of a high end OpenGL based Graphics card. However for complex product design, machines with high speed (and possibly multiple) CPUs and large amounts of RAM are recommended. CAD was an application that benefitted from the installation of a numeric coprocessor especially in early personal computers. The human-machine interface is generally via a computer mouse but can also be via a pen and digitizing graphics tablet. Manipulation of the view of the model on the screen is also sometimes done with the use of a spacemouse/SpaceBall. Some systems also support stereoscopic glasses for viewing the 3D model.

We offer high quality CAD CAM Services like 2D to 3D cad conversion , Paper to cad conversion , Engineering Design, Concept designing at very affordable and competitive prices.

Paper to CAD Conversion (Services)

February 16, 2008

The next topic under CAD/CAM Services blog is how paper to CAD Conversion is to be done.

What is CAD conversion

Paper to CAD Conversion basically a paper documents into dimensionally accurate AutoCad files. Scanned drawings, blueprints and pdf files are manually traced by trained autocad drafters, and checked continually by licensed US architects for accuracy and completeness.

What is RasterVect 

RasterVect can transform any raster images into a vector format. Raster drawing can be imported by scanning original paper drawings. Images can be acquired from any scanner. The target vector formats (DXF,WMF,EMF,EPS and AI) are supported by most CAD applications that use vector graphics, such as AutoCAD and Corel Draw.

There are viewing tools like zooming, scrolling and color selection.

Features-

1. Recognizes orthogonal lines, inclined lines, arcs and circles.
2. The system provides four various conversion methods (outline, centerline etc).
3. Provides modes ORTHO and SNAP; Forms correct corners at crossing lines, arcs and circle.
4. Keeps scale of an initial drawing.
5. It Can recognize color images or transform their to black-and-white for the subsequent recognition

What is CAD/CAM.

February 16, 2008

CAD/CAM is the abbrevation for computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing, computer systems used to design and manufacture products. The term CAD/CAM implies that an engineer can use the system both for designing a product and for controlling manufacturing processes. For example, once a design has been produced with the CAD component, the design itself can control the machines that construct the part.

CAD is sometimes translated as “computer-assisted drafting“, “computer-aided drafting“, or a similar phrase. Related acronyms are CADD, which stands for “computer-aided design and drafting“; CAID, for Computer-aided Industrial Design; and CAAD, for “computer-aided architectural design”. All these terms are essentially synonymous, but there are some subtle differences in meaning.

CAD is not just a drafting tool, its a very accurate and robust design tool too.The CAD or computer-assisted drafting offers very simple, easy to use, less time consuming and clean methods to study and evaluate the design process and arrive at a close-to-perfect design.

Many industries provides these services of CAD/CAM services, reverse engineering is another part of this industry.
