CAD API Development
API development for mechanical engineering software — automating repetitive tasks, extending CAD and CAE functionality, and improving workflow efficiency. SolidWorks, Creo, AutoCAD and other engineering software integrations.
The scope, in full
CAD software customisation & automation
- Custom macros, scripts and plugins for mechanical CAD software
- Automated design modification, part generation and assembly creation
- Custom user interfaces and workflows
- Fewer manual errors on repetitive tasks
Design automation & parametric modelling
- Model creation, dimensioning and configuration driven by input parameters
- Rule-based design automation for quick iteration
- Excel-to-CAD automation for bulk component creation
- Less manual effort on customised product designs
Engineering data management & integration
- Automated BOM generation and export to ERP systems
- CAD integrated with PLM software
- APIs for data exchange between design and manufacturing teams
- Cloud-based CAD data access and sharing
Simulation & analysis automation
- Automated FEA and CFD processes
- Custom solver settings, boundary conditions and result extraction
- Automated simulation reports and analysis summaries
- Shorter simulation setup time
CAM & CNC programming automation
- Automated G-code generation for CNC machining
- Custom post-processing scripts for different CNC machines
- Automated toolpath optimisation
- Integration with robotic programming and 3D printing workflows
Custom plugin & add-in development
- Tailor-made add-ins that extend mechanical software
- Custom UI, command panels and interactive features
- Database-driven plugins for quick access to design libraries
- Cross-platform compatibility across engineering environments
