CAD Customization is a software application development
activity. These applications typically automate some design processes.
CAD customization is an add-on application developed to work in CAD software environment.

Area of Customization
|
|
Practically there is no limitation as such to where the Customization can be done.
Any industry like Mechanical, Electrical or Civil etc. can be considered for customized
software's solutions.
|
- Generally repetitive type of work with predefined logic can be easily taken care
by developing customized software's . Such work is often carried out in any segments
of various engineering activities like,
- Machine/Equipment Design
- Fabrication
- Tool Design
- Automotive
- Sheet Metal Industries
- Piping and Tubing
- Process control equipment's
- PLM (Product Life Cycle Management)
- The customized software's also can be helpful in performing long and tedious calculations
which saves lot of time and energy.
- Can implement some special industry specific requirements in existing software’s
by customizing it.
- Protocols and practices in Design can be implemented by developing some customized
utilities in design development.

Advantages of CAD Customization
|
In any Engineering field Design activity is a long and complicated process. Sometimes
it is difficult to meet the design schedules due to the limitations of the cycle
time of the processes.
|
|
Use of various software’s and CAD applications is now common in design activity.
Most of the CAD software’s allow developing the customized applications on their
platform using API programming.
|
- Reduces the Design Cycle time.
- Assures the Accuracy in design.
- Reduces the level of expertise.
- Effective use and distribution of Design Knowledge
- Protects the Intellectual property.
- Value addition in Design Process.
- Increase the overall Productivity.
- Reduces Human errors and increases efficiency.
