Product Design and Engineering
CADCode Systems supports multiple design environments.
Manufacturing is about making stuff, which is about making money. CADCode Systems offers reliable solutions that make the design-to-manufacturing process simple, efficient, and flexible.
There are multiple approaches to product design and engineering, from drawing on paper to CAD to using parametric formulas in a spreadsheet. Ultimately, these approaches distill into a set of mathematical data that describe the item to be manufactured and the processes required to shape and prepare it for finishing and assembly.
CADCode Systems lets you use one or more methods by supporting data import from multiple sources – a manually entered CSV table, a DXF or DWG CAD drawing, specialized cabinet, closet or kitchen design software, a database or spreadsheet tied to order entry, or a solid modeling program.
A fast, flexible alternative to the draw-it-first approach.
Visualization is key to the design process. The typical approach is to draw what needs to be made and then convert that into product specifications and machining processes. Many designers don’t realize it’s possible to go directly from conception to defining the product with mathematical formulas – the same formulas derived from a drawing.
QuickCAM for Woodworking speeds things up by bypassing the drawing process. Using a parametric-formula-driven spreadsheet, part data for stock or custom products are entered directly or pulled from an order entry front-end. The formulas handle the customization automatically, creating a fast flow-through from order/design to manufacturing. If there’s a need to check the parts visually, QuickCAM has links to a viewing program and AutoCAD where the data can be viewed as a drawing and even converted into an editable DXF.
CADCode Systems has solutions to help you make stuff - and make money - whatever your design approach.
