CAD/CAM software packages offer highly versatile and generic capabilities that can be used effectively "out-of-the-box" by most users. However, for engineering and manufacturing companies with specific workflows, design standards, or product configurations, generic features may not be enough. Customization of CAD software can significantly enhance productivity, reduce repetitive tasks, and ensure strict adherence to company-specific design rules and practices.
CAD customization involves tailoring the functionality, interface, and automation processes of standard CAD software to meet specific engineering or manufacturing requirements. This can include writing scripts, creating custom toolbars or macros, building add-ins, integrating design rules, and linking CAD tools with external applications like ERP or PLM systems.
NESTech can extend the capabilities of standard CAD software packages by developing custom programs and applications that integrate seamlessly with all popular CAD packages. This includes automating design tasks, building custom plugins, and linking CAD with calculation tools, databases, or ERP systems.
Modern CAD platforms offer extensive APIs and scripting environments (such as AutoLISP, .NET, VBA, Python, and C++) that enable deep customization. The level of automation achievable can be illustrated with real-world examples, where fully configured assemblies and 2D drawings are automatically generated from just a few user inputs or parameter files.
