Description

HiCAD is a versatile 2D/3D CAD software tailored for both generalists and specialists in engineering and development. Its flexibility allows it to cater to the varying needs and scales of different businesses, whether they are small manufacturers, medium-sized firms with dedicated product development teams, or large multinational corporations. Thanks to its modular design, HiCAD integrates all essential functions into one cohesive system, making it easy for users to find the right tools they require. The software supports both 2D and 3D functionalities within a single interface, eliminating the need for multiple CAD applications. Furthermore, HiCAD streamlines the process by enabling direct transfer of drawings to machines, production lines, or manufacturing setups, enhancing overall efficiency in design and production workflows. This seamless integration ensures that users can focus more on creativity and innovation rather than managing disparate software solutions.

Description

High-quality 3D CAD software designed for engineering and product design is available through Inventor® CAD software, which offers extensive tools for 3D mechanical design, documentation, and product simulation. This software allows users to operate efficiently by combining various design methods, such as parametric, direct, freeform, and rules-based approaches. Collaborate seamlessly with anyone, regardless of the CAD software they utilize, and leverage cloud-based design reviews to gather insights from important stakeholders wherever they are located. It supports the entire product development process with a unified data model, enabling more effective design through specialized features for sheet metal, frame design, and tube and pipe. Additionally, users can enhance their design, documentation, and process automation efforts using iLogic. The Inventor API allows for the creation of custom add-ins, while the Forge Design Automation API offers the ability to execute job processes in the cloud, providing further flexibility and innovation in design workflows. By utilizing these advanced tools, teams can significantly improve their efficiency and collaboration throughout the design process.
