3D CAD support
With our in-house 3D CAD support (computer-aided design), we can develop 3D models for prototyping or design review. We also use your 3D files to assure that the products we are producing match your quality expectations. Having this process in house allows you to save time and money when it comes to working with us on your project.
What is 3D CAD Support and How Does it Work?
As seen in the video above, 3D CAD drawings are digital representations of a product or structure created using specialized software. These drawings allow designers and engineers to visualize, manipulate, and refine the dimensions and components of a project in three dimensions. This provides a highly detailed and accurate blueprint. Unlike traditional 2D drawings, 3D CAD designs allow for a more realistic view of how parts will fit together and interact within a larger system. This technology has revolutionized the manufacturing and fabrication industries with clear, precise models that are easily adjusted for changes in design. And, it also lets manufacturers test these designs for functionality before production even begins.
For a metal fabrication company like Elite Welding & Fabrication, 3D CAD drawings are essential in ensuring that each project meets the exact specifications of our customers. By utilizing 3D CAD software, we can develop accurate models of any metal structure or component. These models also let us share potential designs with customers for a thorough review process. This allows for a faster revision period as well, saving time and reducing the likelihood of costly errors. Once we finalize the design, we use the 3D drawing as a guide for cutting, welding, and assembling the metal pieces. The ability to simulate real-world conditions within the design software also allows our fabricators to optimize materials and processes. This improves efficiency and ensures high-quality results that align with the client’s needs. See an example of a project created with 3D CAD below:
