HiCAD – The Multi-Talent for Your Industry!

The Comprehensive CAD Solution for Mechanical Engineering.

Today the use of CAD systems has become a standard in many industries, most notably in the fields of mechanical engineering and production engineering. Various essential phases of the production development cycle, such as tender preparation, process planning, prototype engineering or quality control, benefit to a considerable extent from the possibility to evaluate prototypes during early design stages with respect to their functional integrity.

Many of the companies which are still working in 2-D would like to benefit from the advantages of 3-D design. However, an immediate change to 3-D is often not feasible, e.g. because data exchange with customers and/or suppliers is required or because they are afraid of data loss.

As a combined, fully associative 2-D/3-D CAD system, HiCAD presents the perfect solution, as 2-D and 3-D objects can be used here within the same file, providing the ideal combination of 2-D legacy data maintenance and innovative 3-D design.

  

Nevertheless will HiCAD continue to provide state-of-the-art drawing functions and essential CAD elements for 2-D design, from filleting and chamfering to associative dimensioning and hatching to sketching technique and the quick draw mode for 2-D contours.

Existing legacy data in the form of 2-D drawings can, even if originating from other CAD systems, automatically be converted to 3-D models with the 2-D->3-D Conversion module, allowing time savings of up to 90% compared with conventional 3-D drawing reconstruction methods!

State-of-the-art functions are also available for the processing of 3-D models. The user can choose between free and parametric design. Possible part collisions within the 3-D model can be early detected and eliminated with simulation and analysis tools. For the visualisation of 3-D models, possibilities are also limitless. Illumination and material specification options enable a photorealistic rendering of the 3-D model.

 

  

The Highlights

  • State-of-the-art 2-D and 3-D functions within one system
  • Free and parametric design
  • Design automation through Macro and Variant Technology
  • High-end performance even for large assemblies with more consisting of more than 10,000 parts
  • Extensive standard parts catalogues for fasteners, bearings and shafts, pneumatic and hydraulic elements
  • Automatic creation of documents such as production drawings, parts lists, exploded views etc.
  • Photorealistic visualisation of the models
  • Individually extendable by modules or other industry solutions

Enjoy the benefits of HiCAD, from the design and planning phase to the finished plant, and achieve distinct increases in productivity!
