MCAE/CAD/CAM guidelines

Abstract

Choosing the best CAD system for a company is no simple matter. A discussion of the concerns that each company must study is provided for each central issue. The central issues covered are the following: product development (i.e. whether everyone understands the factors involved in engineering, drafting, and manufacturing the products electronically); company size and growth plans; management support; finance (how much can be spent); and proper selection of a solid modeler.<>
