For companies where blueprints need to be created and stored, CAD conversion comes in handy. Converting hard copy paperwork to electronic format makes archiving, retrieving, copying, editing, and sharing of the drawings easier.

Apart from reduced operational cost, there are numerous benefits of CAD conversions

Reverse engineering enables the duplication of an existing part by capturing the component’s physical dimensions, features, and material properties. Before attempting reverse engineering, a well-planned life-cycle analysis and cost/benefit analysis should be conducted to justify the reverse engineering projects. Reverse engineering is typically cost-effective only if the items to be reverse engineered reflect a high investment or will be reproduced in large quantities. Reverse engineering of a part may be attempted even if it is not cost-effective if the part is absolutely required and is mission-critical to a system.

CFD simulates fluid (either liquid or gas) passing through or around an object. The analysis can be very complex—for example, one calculation can contain heat transfer, mixing, and unsteady and compressible flows. The ability to predict the impact of such flows on your product performance can be time-consuming and expensive without some type of simulation tool.

3D modeling enables more accurate, efficient, and cost-effective machine control. Instead of using traditional survey stakes, machine operators can see the job site on a screen while in the cab. A system of sensors guides the machine based on the 3D model’s measurements.
