Solidworks Sydney

From 2D Drawings to Digital Engineering By Hamilton By Design For more than two decades, SOLIDWORKS has transformed the way engineers, designers, manufacturers, fabricators, project managers and asset owners work across Sydney and Australia. What began as a powerful 3D CAD package has evolved into a complete engineering platform used for product development, mining infrastructure, pipework design, structural detailing, reverse engineering, simulation, manufacturing and digital engineering workflows. Today, it is difficult to find an engineering workshop, fabrication business, mining support contractor or design consultancy in Sydney that has not been influenced by SOLIDWORKS in some way. However, the real impact of SOLIDWORKS is not the software itself. The real impact is how it has helped engineers make better decisions.            The Engineering Challenge Every engineering project begins with uncertainty. Questions commonly asked include: ...

  Why Point Cloud Data Beats STL for Real Engineering Work If you’ve been looking into 3D scanning for your business, you’ve likely come across terms like STL, OBJ, mesh, and point cloud. On the surface, they all appear to represent the same thing—a digital version of a real-world object. In reality, the difference between these formats can determine whether your project moves forward efficiently or stalls inside your CAD environment. Not all scan data is created equal, and more importantly, not all of it is usable for engineering. A common scenario is this: a company invests in 3D scanning to capture an existing component or piece of equipment. The intention is to modify a design, reverse engineer a part, or produce drawings for fabrication. The scan is completed, and the deliverable is issued as an STL or OBJ file. At first glance, everything looks correct. The model opens inside platforms like SolidWorks , Autodesk Inventor , Autodesk Fusion , or Onshape . However, as soon ...
