- Seamless integration between surface modeling and solid modeling.
Overview of the 3D CAD/CAM/CAE Solution System for Design, Simulation, and Manufacturing – CADmeister – Part 2
In Part 1, we provided an overall introduction to the CADmeister software. In Part 2, let’s take a closer look at the modules offered by CADmeister and how they can support your business in production planning.
Table of Contents
1. CAD 2D & 3D
1.1 BASE/ADVANCE Module (Modeling Design Tools)
- Unlimited use of both parametric and non-parametric modeling modes.
- Powerful 3D Solid Modeling and Surface Modeling capabilities.
A wide range of fillet functions, including:
- Fillet
- Graded Fillet
- Automatic Filleting
- Collective Filleting
- Filleting at Junction Points
1.2 STL-EDIT Module (STL Data Editing Tools)
STL-EDIT is a tool that allows the use of STL data imported into the CAD system via 3D coordinate measuring tools. It is an essential tool for editing STL data.
Simplification
Noise Reduction
Smoothing
Trim
Position Alignment
Three-point method
Automatic
Manual
Extension
1.3 DATA EXCHANGE ModuleCADmeister supports the exchange of both standard and optional data formats:
- Standard data: Import/Export file formats including IGES, JAMA, DXF/DWG, CADCEUS, and STL. Export formats include XVL, VRML, and SVLX.
(These are default functions and do not require an additional license.) - Optional data: Import/Export file formats such as STEP, CATIA V4, CATIA V5, PARASOLID, I-DEAS, Creo Parametric, TDEX, JT, and TOGO. Export formats include NCVIEW and CAM-TOOL.
1.4 Mođun FILLET-REMOVAL SP 
Mođun MODEL-COMPARISON SP
This function compares detailed 3D product models before and after design changes, displaying the changes both in a list and within the software interface. Specifically:
- Extract Shape Difference SP: Compares two CAD datasets by overlaying them and highlighting the differences.
- Model Comparison SP: Compares two CAD datasets side by side on the screen.
2. PRESS DIE
2.1 Mođun PRESS
The following commands are intended for the initial design stage:
CreateSectionalDies and CreateSteelEdges
CashHole
ShapeCreation
Automatic creation of bolts and dowel pins – command: "BoltsandDowelPinsAutomaticPlacement"
Automatic creation of Pierce hole positions – command: "PierceAutomaticPlacement"
2.2 Mođun FORM-EX
With this module, users can quickly and accurately create characteristic profiles for the stamping mold process, precisely determine the expected deformation of parts, verify the deviation of empty weight, and generate a new similar model using the expected deformation, the properties of the material to be manufactured, and the existing 3D model or STL design data.
Press Form Twist
Spring back
OverCrown
FillingLargeHole
2.3 Mođun DL
- DL, a 3D support tool, is used to improve product quality and optimize mold layout during the design stage. It allows design engineers to inspect and diagnose results using 3D visualizations and to export 3D result data before precise machining.
- Function: "3DDL Support"
- Support functions for checking factors related to the stamping mold production process and converting them into 2D CAD data include:
Start point
ScrapCutterLineExamination
2.4 Mođun PRESS-FORM-PLUS-II
PRESS-FORM-PLUS-II supports reverse engineering techniques, allowing direct reference to NASTRAN-based analysis results from sheet metal forming simulations. This helps improve the accuracy of conversions during the initial design stage.
