Over de past 10 years we used Solid Designer as MCAD software.
Now we searching for additional 3D CAD software specially for plastic part design.
We have evaluated the 3 high-end packages, Catia, UGS NX2 & Pro/E, but we don’t take a decision.
For a high-end package it’s rather a big price.
Now we also think about Solid Works because :
- there is a lot of interesting modules in the standard configuration for a low price
(about € 8300 in respect of for example about € 21.000 for NX2 with more functionality in SW)
- it’s easy to you and easy to learn
What we don’t know, and difficult to evaluate, is the modelling power of SW for plastic part design, specially surfacing, freeform, lofts and blends.
Can anybody tell me how is the modelling power of SW in respect of the 3 high-end packages?
Thanks in advance.
