NT CADCAM, the UK’s most established SolidWorks reseller, will be on hand to demonstrate cutting-edge advances in Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAD solutions), including the very latest simulation software, at the All-Energy Exhibition and Conference, stand J111, from 21 – 22 May 2014 in Aberdeen.

SolidWorks 2014

Since NT CADCAM introduced SolidWorks to the UK market 18 years ago, more than 3,300 companies in the oil and gas industry around the world use the 3D CAD software.

Some of the most revolutionary equipment has been designed using the SolidWorks applications including the world’s first robotic drill floor by Seabed Rig AS; the sophisticated aluminum structures used by Martifer Group to design wind tower farms; and the pioneering redesign of liquid/solid separators by Hutchison Hayes.

These companies have reaped the benefits of having an integrated SolidWorks platform, some of which have included the reduction of lead times by up to 50 per cent, reduced design time by 40 per cent and improved manufacturability.

NT CADCAM, which is one of only 12 elite value added resellers of SolidWorks out of 450 in the world, will have their own experienced team of engineers on hand at the All-Energy Show to demonstrate how industrials designers in the energy, oil and gas industries can benefit from the latest release of the SOLIDWORKS 2014 software.

Dale McQueen, mechanical engineer and NT CADCAM regional sales manager for Scotland, said: ‘With 30 years of CAD experience, I find SolidWorks itself already impressive in all sorts of ways. The speed at which it can take a 3D model and represent it in 2D documents commands an audience. Often when I am demonstrating this I always ask customers how long it would take them to do a manufacturer’s drawing using 2D CAD and the answer is always somewhere between two hours and half a day. SolidWorks does it in 40 seconds – and that’s doing it the long handed way. You can actually do it with one click of the mouse.’

TransMagic

TransMagic is the latest product from NT CADCAM that can seamlessly take files, convert and repair them into the format from any CAD system. Conversion of data within the Energy and Renewables industry is often a time-consuming challenge with many systems taking 2-3 days to get a useable model of a CAD design. In the energy industry, precision is key to reduce costly mistakes in design and simulation.

The design to manufacturing process commonly uses ten or more different 3D applications. The ability to reuse CAD data, from any source, can have a positive impact on sales, delivery schedules, and ultimately profitability. TransMagic provides the easiest and most reliable way for manufacturing professionals to reuse 3D data in any CAD/CAM/CAE application.

Chris Horn, NT CADCAM operations director, says: ”TransMagic is easy to use and fast. It’s our answer to all data translation.’
