STRIKER Sheet Metal CAD/CAM – AutoCAD Advantage

When the blueprint of the STRIKER Sheet Metal CAD/CAM software was originally designed the decision was made to base the product on Autodesk technology. The advantages stemming from this decision, for both Striker Systems and our customers, have been tremendous; culminating in two distinct variations of the STRIKER CAD/CAM software to meet your sheet metal manufacturing requirements…

AutoCAD Based     Stand Alone
For AutoCAD users, STRIKER CAD/CAM is available as a plug-in to the latest release of your AutoCAD or AutoCAD Mechanical software. This enhances your AutoCAD environment providing a truly seamless sheet metal CAD/CAM and nesting environment.     For non-AutoCAD users, STRIKER CAD/CAM is available as a stand-alone solution built on an underlying AutoCAD OEM platform. This incorporates the design power of AutoCAD with the advanced CNC programming and nesting of Striker Systems; delivered as one powerful CAD/CAM solution.


The Autodesk Advantage...

Regardless of which Striker Systems CAD/CAM solution meets your sheet metal manufacturing needs, the AutoCAD technology offers significant advantages over convention CAD/CAM systems. Powered by Autodesk Technology
Industry Standard File Format – STRIKER CAD/CAM products use the industry standard AutoCAD DWG as the native 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 CAD/CAM 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 or AutoCAD Mechanical. 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 Autodesk Inventor, SolidWorks, and Solid Edge provide direct support for Striker's DWG file format. Striker Systems also offers our PARTshare interface for Autodesk Inventor and SolidWorks, as well as direct OLE links into SolidWorks, Inventor and Solid Edge for unprecedented sharing of data.
Reduced Training Time / Cost - Both the AutoCAD based and stand-alone STRIKER CAD/CAM 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.
