Direct CAD for the Contract Manufacturer E-book



Kubotek USA has released its third e-book in a series designed to educate readers on the features and benefits of direct CAD modeling. "Direct CAD for the Contract Manufacturer" explores the unique issues that contract manufacturers face when working with their customers' CAD files.

According to the company, this e-book covers many important topics that contract manufacturers, job shops and other manufacturing facilities must deal with on a daily basis, including:

  • Importing customer files
  • Redrawing designs
  • Data reuse
  • File translation and validating CAD translations
  • Changes to the CAD model issued in midstream productions
  • Using CAD models to develop tools, dies and molds.

"Direct CAD modelers can significantly aid in the resolution of any of these stated issues, ultimately saving manufacturers time while improving product quality and saving money not only for themselves, but for their customers," said a company spokesperson.

Scott Sweeney, Vice President of Marketing for Kubotek USA, said, "Some manufacturers think they are being wise by just adopting their largest customer's CAD system in order to foster CAD reuse. They are amazed when their CAD operators must still redraw CAD files or spend time struggling with the inherent issues of history-based CAD systems. Managers want their highly paid CAD resources to spend time in value-added activities - not struggling with CAD files. This e-book aims to educate managers in contract manufacturing about the alternatives available to them so they can make more informed decisions when it comes to choosing the right CAD system for their manufacturing process."

This e-book follows on the heels of "Direct Modeling 101," an interactive multimedia e-book, and "Direct Modeling 201," an advanced guide to direct modeling.
