- February 24, 1992 (Tolland, CT)--CNC Software, Inc. today released
- Mastercam DRAFT, a low cost stand alone 3D mechanical Computer-Aided
- Design and Drafting system for personal computers. Mastercam DRAFT, which
- retails for U.S. $495, is the latest addition to the Mastercam family of
- CAD/CAM systems for milling, lathe, wire EDM, sheet metal
- fabrication/punching, plasma cutting, and lasers.
-
- Mastercam DRAFT is targeted at manufacturing personnel and design engineers
- who need 2D and 3D design and drafting capabilities for editing part files
- received from other CAD systems, re-working blueprints, or creating
- mechanical designs from scratch. If the part needs to be machined,
- Mastercam DRAFT integrates smoothly into Mastercam CAM systems, or will
- output to virtually any other CAD/CAM system.
-
- The product differs from other systems in that it combines full 3D geometry
- creation and isometric drafting capability with built-in bi-directional
- data translators for a fraction of the cost of systems with similar
- functionality. Data translators include IGES, DXF, ASCII, CADL, NFL,
- VDA-FS, SPAC and UNISURF. These translators often cost $500 to $5,000 each
- from other CAD vendors.
-
- Mastercam DRAFT lets you create standard geometric entities such as points,
- lines, arcs, fillets, chamfers, splines, ellipses, rectangles, and
- lettering. Advanced geometry like NURBS and parametric curves and surfaces
- are supported via the IGES data translator. The geometry is stored in a 3D
- double precision database. Finished drawings can be output to disk,
- printer or plotter.
-
- Mastercam DRAFT also supports full isometric dimensioning capabilities.
- Geometry can be dimensioned in any plane, from any view. The system
- provides full editing capabilities, including labeling entities; making
- notes, and editing text, position and leader/witness characteristics, and
- is adaptable to any international standard: ANSI, ISO, DIN and JIS.
-
- All Mastercam products are sold by a network of dealers in 32 countries.
- CNC Software, Inc. is a privately held corporation founded in 1984. The
- US-based company has provided CAD/ CAM solutions to over 8000 customers
- worldwide in the mold-making, automotive, aerospace and related
- industries.
