We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "CAD models",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Manufacturingtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Service produces prototype plastics parts from
Protomold UK, which we summarised at the time by saying "A rapid injection moulding specialist provides a service dedicated to producing plastics prototype parts CNC machined directly from solid resin quickly and easily".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release Vertical machining centres cut patterns from
Haas Automation: "Producer of low volume reaction injection moulded parts and polyurethane castings uses five vertical machining centres to cut master pattern equipment from polyurethane tooling board".
In January 2008, we covered the news from nPower Software
concerning its Power Translators for Autodesk
- take a look at Data translation software imports NURBS
which says: "Data translation software is claimed to be the most accurate and efficient way of importing precise NURBS CAD data into Autodesk Maya instead of transferring imprecise polygonal representations".
Take a look also at the news release from Geometric Technologies, CAM offers more 2- to 5-axis milling strategies,
as well as Software offers 'design for manufacturability' from Geometric Technologies,
and Guide makes right conveyor selection easier from QC Industries Conveyors.
