Abstract

The use of CAD models is a fundamental part of components development in modern industry. Not only it provides a 3D representation of the piece but it also allows performing simulations to evaluate how it behaves under working conditions. The development of a CAD model involves the use of several operations. The starting point is usually the creation of a 2D sketch. Then, using extrusions and cuts, a 3D model will be created. This process is valid for models where no previous CAD model is available. In this case, the model has to be developed from scratch. However, the industrial brochures where the workpieces are modifications of a ground model present an opportunity to use the programming features of CAD programmes to automate the model development.
