My company uses a different 3-D software. How 'intelligent' is the STEP 214 file you will supply of the completed design?
The STEP file will contain the full tree structure showing the upper and lower assemblies, individual details, strip, press bed and ram, bars and fingers if required. At this time the majority of our customer base does not use CATIA yet we are able to supply them with a very functional finished product designed to their specifications and standards.

Are 3-D Designs more accurate than 2-D designs?
Yes, and for several reasons: dies are easier to visualize and review, locations such as screws and dowels are accurate on tools requiring 100% detailing, the bill of materials is linked to the design ensuring adequate rough stock size and correct purchase components, designs are drawn with break and running clearances shown.

My company doesn't use 3-D software. How will we view or use your files?
We provide you with 3-D viewing software at no charge for use when reviewing or referencing 3-D designs. With this software you can zoom, pan and rotate the entire design or individual components. We also provide traditional 2-D CAD data available in several different formats. This allows you the customer to implement the design directly into your CAD software.
