Striker Systems sheet metal CAD/CAM solutions are available in two
versions to meet your specific manufacturing requirements... |
|
FAB Professional
|
| The FAB Professional product
line incorporates each of the Striker sheet metal CAD/CAM modules into an
AutoCAD based solution. This includes
SS-Design,
SS-Unfold,
SS-Punch,
SS-Profile, and
SS-Nest. The FAB Professional
family of products requires a license of AutoCAD Release 2000 or later.
The FAB Professional modules "plug-in" to the AutoCAD license creating a
unique CAD/CAM environment that is unsurpassed for sheet metal
manufacturing productivity. |
|
FabCAD
|
| For non-AutoCAD users, the
FabCAD product line incorporates each of the Striker sheet metal CAD/CAM
modules into a stand-alone solution. FabCAD includes the
SS-Design,
SS-Unfold,
SS-Punch,
SS-Profile, and
SS-Nest product modules. Built on
AutoCAD OEM technology, FabCAD offers that same unsurpassed sheet metal
manufacturing functionality as FAB Professional, but in a stand-alone
solution. |
The Autodesk Advantage...
|
| The Striker Systems sheet
metal CAD/CAM products are unique in the metal fabrication industry.
Both FAB Professional (AutoCAD plug-in) and FabCAD (stand-alone) utilize
Autodesk's industry standard AutoCAD technology. This offers many
significant advantages over conventional CAD/CAM systems. |
| |
-
Industry Standard File Format - Striker Systems products use
the industry standard AutoCAD DWG file format. This insures
unsurpassed compatibility with other CAD and CAM software products, many
of which read and write directly to the industry standard DWG format.
You can feel confident knowing that your valuable data is accessible
from numerous applications.
|
- Removal of Data Translations -
Striker Systems
provides a truly integrated CAD/CAM solution that supports the entire
manufacturing process from initial part design through the generation of
NC programs with no data translations required. And unlike many
manufacturing software products with limited design capability, Striker
Systems includes an advanced engineering system for the most demanding
design requirements.
|
- Industry Standard Data Translators
- In the event it
is necessary to import data from (or export data to) another CAD
software, Striker Systems relies on the standard DXF, IGES, and STEP
translators found in AutoCAD. Autodesk is the author of the DXF file
format and therefore defines this standard. And because AutoCAD is the
most popular CAD software in the world, it is a benchmark for the
development of translators by other CAD software organizations.
|
- SolidWorks, Solid Edge, & Autodesk
Inventor Compatibility - The industry is rapidly embracing solid
modeling technology. Being based on Autodesk’s industry standard DWG
file format, Striker Systems offers a level of compatibility not found
by other manufacturing solutions. Many products, such as Inventor and
SolidWorks, support Striker’s DWG format directly. And Striker also
offers direct OLE links into SolidWorks, Inventor and Solid Edge for
seamless sharing of data.
|
- Reduced Training Time / Cost -
Both the AutoCAD
based and stand-alone Striker Systems products provide an enhanced
AutoCAD user interface. Individuals familiar with AutoCAD will readily
adapt to the Striker environment thereby minimizing their learning
curve. And for organizations that use AutoCAD as their CAD solution, it
is not necessary for your employees to learn multiple operating
environments as they would with separate CAD and CAM solutions.
