Mechanical CAD with KOMPAS-3D

KOMPAS-3D is intended for creating three-dimensional associative models for individual parts and assembly units containing both original and standardized structural elements. The parametric technology allows quickly obtaining models for typical products basing on a once designed prototype. Numerous service functions facilitate solving auxiliary designing and production maintenance problems.

A key feature of KOMPAS-3D is the use of its own mathematical core and parametric technologies developed by ASCON specialists.

The basic task being solved by the system is the modelling of products in order to considerably reduce the period of their designing and launch them into production as fast as possible. These purposes being reached by the following features:

• fast creating of engineering and design documentation for production output (assembly drawings, BOM, detail drawings etc.),
• translating geometry into design applications
• translating geometry into control-program development kits for NC-controlled equipment
• creating additional images (for catalogue creation, for creating of illustrations of manuals etc.)

The model export/import tools (KOMPAS-3D supports IGES, SAT, XT, STEP, VRML formats) provide functioning of complexes containing various CAD/CAM/CAE systems.
