Special Purpose Machine (SPM) is widely used for special kind of operations, which are not economical on conventional machines. It is designed for getting higher accuracy at desired condition. A design engineer has to improve existing manufacturing technique by implanting new ideas like Special Purpose Machine (SPM) . The company’s decision making is based on the motives of improving existing manufacturing processes which result in to major advantages like, reduced manufacturing lead time, tool profiling methods of processing and consistent results on a long run. TECHNICAL CHALLENGES FACED IN SPM SECTOR Unable to determine collision & interference between parts Top down assembly modelling To showcase physical working of machine To create and validate mechanisms involved Creating innovative concepts Design collaboration of standard components like motor, linear guide ways, pulleys, power packs etc… Design and validation of structural elements Design communication and a...

DFM  stands for  Design for Manufacturing . The good Design practice is not only focusing on the Product design alone, but also its producibility or manufacturability. It is most important to detect and eliminate mistakes before the product or part goes to manufacturing. SOLIDWORKS  has an inbuilt DFM tool called  DFMXpress  that helps in implementing common manufacturability checks related to machining and sheet metal fabrication. It helps to avoid downstream problems early in the design stage, thereby reduces cost and minimizes time to market. DFMXpress reduces engineering changes (ECNs & ECOs) by predicting manufacturing problems early in the upstream design stage. It ensures that the design is compatible with available or desired manufacturing process and can be manufactured economically. This allows potential problem to be fixed in the design stage which is the least expensive place to address them. The design of the component can have eno...

SOLIDWORKS Routing Solutions give ample set of tools for creation of Pipe, Tube and Electrical route Designs. Piping Industry deals with complex routing lines, that are difficult to be predicted and Serviced. Design of these Piping Systems is also a tedious job, for the design engineer.  SOLIDWORKS Automates the Way of Piping Design with solutions like Auto-Routing Capabilities and Dedicated Routing Library with Reusable Components like Flanges, Fittings, Equipments and Pipes of Different standards. Piping Solutions from Solidworks: Easy to Create 3D piping system designs, just by a 3d sketch Auto-route capability & Designs can be easily edited according to assembly and service needs Automatically generate piping manufacturing drawings from 3D models Different Connections like butt welded, socket welded, threaded, and other connections are  available Calculate cut lengths for all pipe and tube runs Automate placement of supports and hange...

About SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD software gives designers simple ways to quickly create and adjust 3D model geometry using direct model editing. Simply click on the model geometry and move it, speeding up design, saving time and development costs, and increasing productivity. Direct Model Editing Overview Easy-to-use direct model editing enables designers to quickly make changes to their 3D model: Direct Edit Toolbar enables you to copy, move, split, replace, offset, push, and drag geometry to create the result you want. Patterns instantly create SOLIDWORKS features, faces, and solid bodies with a simple click made directly on the geometry to be patterned. Direct Edit capabilities automatically convert non-native, imported model geometry into intelligent SOLIDWORKS features that can be modified parametrically or through direct geometry manipulation. Instant3D capabilities let you drag geometry and dimension manipulators to create and modify features. Live Section capabilities c...
