CATI-SolidWorks Tool-Room Series
Part 1: Metal Stamping, Jig & Fixture Design and Inspection
by Robert Konczal, CTO
While product & machine designers are convinced of the benefits of 3D design technologies, the tool-rooms of most companies are lacking the same enthusiasm—this concerns me. However, the worldwide competition in manufacturing will drive ALL aspects of manufacturing to use more innovative solutions or they will fall behind and eventually perish --this concerns me even more! Some portions of manufacturing are using 3D today, but it is not the standard methodology.  For instance, 90%+ of progressive die designers still use 2D drafting software tools.  While there were reasons for this in the past, they can been overcome in many cases with solutions from the CATI-SolidWorks Tool-Room Series.   For complete article, click here.
