CAD DEPARTMENT

The CAD department has the ability to import 3D customer models or translate a blueprint or sketch into a 3D model. Using Pro/Engineer and Mastercam, they can use these models to quickly build accurate tooling with any of the 4 CNC mills connected to the shop network or provide the wood or metal shop with the information required to build tooling.
