Andrea Rivosecchi su Scopri di più Meccanico 3D
Andrea Rivosecchi - There is more than 20 CAD software in the
current market. Which one should you learn?
Well, this was the most
annoying question for me when I was pursuing my engineering degree. Every time
I ask someone, either my seniors or my professors, all of them gave me a
different answer. Some asked me to go for Catia or NX Unigraphics while others
for Solidworks or Autocad. I was worried as no one was suggesting for Solidedge
and my college was teaching me Solidedge. The decision was difficult for me but
I had to choose one as my aim was to be Design Engineer. In the end, I went for
CATIA as one of my friends suggested that most of the automobiles company in
Germany use this CAD software.
How learning CAD software got
me the Job?
It was August 2016 when I was
having my Industrial Training at BFW[Bharat Fritz Werner] and they are Germans
& they were not using Catia but Solidworks. I somehow managed to get the
software and learned few modules from the internet to complete my industrial
training. As I was already aware of Catia & Solidedge, learning Solidworks
wasn't difficult for me. And also thanks to my project instructor, who helped
me throughout my industrial training with the software.
It was June 2017 when I was
facing an interview at Adobe Metal Products and the factory manager questioned
me 'Do you know Solidworks?'
Obviously, the answer was Yes, I know SolidWorks. I told him about my previous
experience of SolidWorks and he got impressed. But I was aware that I need to
learn more. So, I started learning Solidworks before my joining in Adobe
Metals. And when I finally joined there, I was assigned the 3D modeling jobs in
the company. But as time passed by I got familiar with the Autocad too as the
CNC punching press of my company only accepted AutoCAD files.
Currently, I am familiar with 4 different CAD software and kind of eligible to
provide a decent reply to this question. Lets start. I'm gonna tell you 3
different formulae to solve this problem.
1. CAD
software is available on three different levels:-
Beginner
Level Software:-
·
Only
used for 2D drafting work.
·
They are
mostly used by micro & small scale manufacturing industries.
·
This
software is either very cheap or Free.
·
These
are not user - friendly.
·
Example:-
AutoCAD 2D, Draftsight etc.
Professional
Level software:-
·
Used in
both 2D drafting & 3D modeling work.
·
These
are very User-Friendly software preferred by all the beginner design engineer.
·
This
software are used by small & medium scale industries.
·
They are
costlier than the basic level software but cheaper than the advanced level
software.
·
Example:-
Solidworks, Solid Edge etc.
Advanced
Level Software:-
·
Used for
all 3 CAD, CAM, CAE work.
·
This are
very costly software.
·
These
are only used by top companies.
·
These
are very costly software.
·
This
software is complex to use.
·
Ex:-
Catia, Siemens NX etc.
