SolidWorks Scan-to-CAD for Central West

Image
  SolidWorks Scan-to-CAD for Central West Gold and Copper Plant Scanning Gold and copper processing plants are difficult environments to measure by hand. Around Orange and Central West NSW, processing facilities can include dense pipework, conveyors, chutes, tanks, pumps, platforms, stairs, handrails and structural steel. Over time, shutdowns, maintenance works and plant modifications can mean the original drawings no longer reflect what is actually on site. This is where 3D LiDAR scanning and SolidWorks-based modelling workflows can help. Hamilton By Design has published a new post on Central West Gold & Copper Plant Scanning , focused on how engineering-grade 3D scanning can support processing plant upgrades, shutdown planning, scan-to-CAD modelling and brownfield engineering.

Point Cloud to SolidWorks Sydney

Image
  Common Problems and Solutions Turning point cloud data into a usable SolidWorks model sounds straightforward, but in real projects it often becomes a source of delays, confusion, and costly rework. Many companies have scan data, but struggle to convert it into practical engineering information that can be used for design, fabrication, fit-up, or documentation. At Hamilton By Design Co., we support Sydney clients with point cloud to SolidWorks workflows for industrial, commercial, and existing-site projects. Whether the job involves plant upgrades, reverse engineering, structural steel, mechanical layouts, or existing building geometry, the real value comes from converting scan data into a model that is clear, accurate, and fit for purpose. Why Point Cloud to SolidWorks Projects Go Wrong A point cloud is not the same thing as a finished engineering model. A laser scan captures millions of measured points, but those points still need to be interpreted, simplified, and converted in...

Solidworks Designer for the Mining Industry

SolidWorks Designer for the Mining Industry What Mining Companies, Engineers & Fabricators Are Looking For Today The mining industry has always demanded precision, reliability, and performance. Whether operating in coal, base metals, or bulk handling facilities, the margin for error is minimal—especially when projects involve shutdown windows, heavy equipment, and high-risk environments. In today’s mining sector, expectations around design and drafting have shifted significantly. Mining companies, engineers, and fabrication teams are no longer looking for basic drawings. 👉 They are looking for complete, accurate, and accessible engineering data . And increasingly, that data is expected to be delivered in SolidWorks , supported by certified designers and connected through modern platforms like the 3DEXPERIENCE ecosystem . Hamilton By Design | SolidWorks What the Mining Industry Is Actually Looking For Mining projects are fundamentally different from standard construction pro...

E-drawings on the iPad

eDrawings, iPad & the Evolution to 3DEXPERIENCE E-drawings for your Ipad .... Check this out  E drawings-for-ipad What Engineers, Clients & Fabricators in Sydney Actually Want Today There was a time when opening a 3D model on an iPad felt revolutionary. For many engineers and fabricators in Sydney, eDrawings was one of the first tools that made this possible—taking complex CAD models and turning them into something portable, visual, and easy to share. At the time, it wasn’t just useful—it was inspirational . It changed how people thought about: Reviewing designs Communicating with clients Visualising fabrication before it happened But more importantly, it laid the groundwork for something much bigger. Why eDrawings Was So Important eDrawings solved a very real problem: 👉 How do you share engineering data with people who don’t have CAD? Instead of sending: Heavy CAD files Static PDFs Confusing drawings You could send a lightweight fil...
