Description
“CADmeister mainly help us to remove spring back. It is easy and fast to twist surface as needed. The result is more effective and beautiful than other software that ever used.
Before using PRESS FORM-EX of CADmeister. Due to the difference of surfaces’ shape, it is quite hard for operators because it need specific method for each surface type. By now we decrease working time from 1-2 days to 1 hour because of PRESS FORM-EX able to create smooth surfaces.”
Not only solving the intra-organization’s problems but Mr.Teerapong also advises Press Form-EX function of CADmeister to his supplier.
“In case of modify spring back at draw panel, scanning the model. The STL data (scanned data) is used to compare with original surface (CAD data). Later, use STL data and CAD data to create trim line and new surface in CADmeister. After that, creating jig and support parts. Next, do laser cutting refers to trim line. The trimmed part has high quality result. Finally do reverse engineering operation again by bending part. The result’s position is very much better.
From 1-2 days to only within 1 day, after using this idea with CADmeister. It’s much quicker. PRESS FORM-EX is extremely useful.”
CADmeister 2021 is designed to be easy to use.
