Before the evolution of computer-aided design (CAD) technology, drawings made on paper could be drawn and viewed only from two directions, the X-axis and the Y-axis. Since the third direction, the ...

A contemplation of the CAD revolutions—successful or otherwise—that started with Part 1: Onshape Is Favored but Challenger Emerges, continued with Part 2: Autodesk, and now picks up again with the ...

A mathematical technique for representing solid objects. Unlike wireframe and surface modeling, solid modeling systems ensure that all surfaces meet properly and that the object is geometrically ...

Rolling Stones or The Beatles? Marmite or Vegemite? Solid Edge or SOLIDWORKS? These are the questions that have plagued humankind for generations. In this article, we will address at least one of ...

Due to the rapid development of technology, modern architectural design and industrial product development methods have ...

Engineers at Agio Cigars, Duizel, Holland, now use a solid-modeling CAD system to move designs from concept to production. The cigar manufacturer relies on Solid Edge's 3D modeler to design individual ...

Are you ready to design a "molecular" machine? Software that is a distant cousin of conventional solidmodeling packages may turn today's designers into molecular engineers. The future of technology is ...

Some methods that can improve the process include examining prints and removing information that distracts from the engineers’ design intent. An innovative approach to design intent looks at geometric ...
