Sheet metal fabrication and manufacturing takes an immense amount of skills for design drafting and manufacturing operations. The key to achieving this excellence is by perfecting the CAD shop drawings through CAD drafting and 3D drawings. Read more here.
Generous use of sheet metal in the building products industry has raised the need for understanding shop floor operations for CAD drafters. With the right information and appropriate CAD drafting services, sheet metal fabrication drawings can be perfected. Check out this infographic to find out the importance of sheet metal CAD drafting services for building product manufacturing.
Hitech CADD Services’ design engineers carried out reverse engineering of a recycling plant in Europe. They recorded physical dimensions and developed a 3D plant assembly model in SolidWorks. Deliverables also included GA drawings, 2D part drawings, and parametric 3D models. That assisted design engineers to take informed decisions for plant restructuring and improving efficiency. Check out the full case study.
Hitech CADD Services’ experts generated 2D DWG sketches and manufacturing drawings for custom metal balconies for a balcony manufacturer located in the UK.
3D CAD modeling is benefitting building product manufacturers with two of the primary needs of building product manufacturers, reduction of costs and meeting deadlines. Firms that do not capitalize on design automation and visualization might stay behind in a lot of aspects.
A leading fabricator working on guardrail and handrail for a football stadium approached Hitech CADD Services teams to create sheet metal shop drawings. The inputs were in the Revit platform which was seamlessly transformed from BIM to Inventor CAD for easy fabrication drafting. Read the complete case study here.
Building products are highly customized and need accurate drawings for quality manufacturing. But creating custom detailed CAD drawings for fabrication, manufacturing, and installation is time-consuming. Outsourcing it to an experienced CAD drafting team gives you an edge over your competitors in terms of quality, time, and cost. Explore our CAD drafting services for building products here.
Sheet metal products are usually custom-made and hence they all have different fabrication methods adopted. Fabricators lose time in developing designs that are self-explanatory or end up with errors. 3D CAD platforms with parametric capabilities ease the modeling and offer more benefits. Read more here.
Sheet metal fabrication is a process that is highly dependent on sheet metal fabrication drawings. Shop floor engineers and machine operators read the drawings and make informed decisions. Slight deviations in interpreting the geometry could result in heavy losses. To avoid project overheads and losses, check out these five CAD drafting mistakes for drafting sheet metal parts.
Hitech CADD Services’s sheet metal design team migrated legacy design data from AutoCAD to SolidWorks using APIs for a Stairlift manufacturer. This enabled standardizing all files in SolidWorks as per DFM guidelines and international design standards to eliminate rework.
