CAD construction: precision-controlled design and analysis tools

Computer Aided Design (CAD) is a central component of modern engineering science. CAD design enables the detailed design and analysis of components and systems.  We work with CATIA V5, one of the leading CAD programs in development, which is therefore used in our daily work on projects. Data is exchanged with other platforms via neutral interfaces.

Why CAD construction?

CAD is essential in the development of technical components. It enables quick modifications and improvements to design elements. This results in time and cost savings compared to traditional testing methods and promotes innovation and design quality.

Cost efficiency

CAD enables virtual analysis of components, eliminating the need for expensive physical prototypes.

Design optimization

Different design options can be efficiently tested and refined before physical prototypes are created.

Increased efficiency

In industries such as aerospace, automotive and power generation, CAD improves the efficiency of processes and reduces energy consumption and environmental impact.

Risk minimization

CAD allows components to be tested under extreme conditions without risk to people or the environment.

Promoting product development and innovation

Acceleration of the development process through rapid design iterations.

Improved process control

In the chemical industry, CAD optimizes processes and improves product quality.

Understanding of complex phenomena

Enables a detailed understanding of flow phenomena in complex systems.

Minimization of environmental impact

Reduces the aerodynamic drag of vehicles, for example, and improves the efficiency of wind turbines.

Our expertise in the field of CAD Construction

ITB Ingenieurgesellschaft für technische Berechnungen mbH

As a leading company in the field of computer-aided design, ITB Ingenieurgesellschaft für technische Berechnungen mbH offers a wide range of services in CAD design. Our services range from the detailed design and analysis of flow around, through or rotating components to the precise calculation of loads and temperature conditions in the context of fluid-structure interactions. With our in-depth expertise and advanced CAD tools, we are ideally equipped to implement your projects efficiently and successfully within the framework of digital design.

Data acquisition and conversion into 3D CAD models

In many cases, documents or drawings of old components are no longer available or the former supplier no longer exists. In these cases, derivations of the components to be replaced must be created. By taking measurements and converting them into 3D CAD data, prototypes can be created and the target can be gradually approached.

Here, for example, a DB window for a locomotive.

FEM: Frequently asked questions about CAD construction

CAD, short for Computer-Aided Design, refers to the use of computer technology for design and documentation. CAD software replaces manual drawing processes and provides a much more accurate, efficient and flexible method of creating engineering plans and construction drawings.

The main features and benefits of CAD include:

  • 3D modeling: CAD enables the creation of three-dimensional (3D) models of objects or systems, allowing for realistic visualization and analysis of the design prior to manufacturing.
  • Improved accuracy: Compared to traditional drawing methods, CAD offers greater precision, resulting in more accurate designs.
  • Increased efficiency: Design processes can be accelerated through the use of CAD. Changes and revisions can be made more easily and quickly.
  • Documentation and storage: CAD facilitates the documentation of designs, including all details such as dimensions, materials and processes. It also enables easy storage and access to digital files.
  • Standardization: CAD software helps to standardize design and documentation processes within an industry or company.
  • Collaboration: CAD systems facilitate collaboration between teams by making it easy to share and edit designs.

CAD is used in a variety of industries, including architecture, engineering, construction, product design and manufacturing. The flexibility and adaptability of CAD software allows professionals to efficiently manage and implement complex designs and changes.

CAD (Computer-Aided Design) offers numerous advantages over traditional drawing methods, making it an indispensable tool in many industries:

  1. Increased accuracy and precision: CAD software allows for much more accurate and precise creation of drawings and models than manual drafting. The ability to precisely define dimensions and tolerances minimizes errors and inaccuracies.
  2. Increased efficiency: CAD speeds up the design process considerably. Changes and revisions to designs can be made quickly and easily, saving time and increasing productivity.
  3. 3D visualization and modeling: Unlike traditional 2D drawings, CAD enables the creation of detailed 3D models. This makes it easier to understand the design and enables better visualization of the end product.
  4. Data management and documentation: CAD systems offer advanced options for storing, managing and documenting designs. This makes it easier to access previous designs, manage design versions and ensure the consistency of project documentation.
  5. Easy reuse and customization: Existing CAD models can be easily adapted or reused for new projects, enabling rapid development of new designs.
  6. Standardization: CAD promotes the standardization of drawings and designs within an organization. This facilitates communication and the exchange of designs between different departments or external partners.
  7. Improved collaboration: CAD files can be easily shared and edited simultaneously by teams in different locations, enabling more effective collaboration.
  8. Cost savings: Although the initial purchase of CAD software and the required hardware can be costly, the long-term increase in efficiency and reduction in errors lead to significant cost savings.
  9. Integration with other technologies: CAD systems often integrate seamlessly with other technologies, such as CAM (computer-aided manufacturing) or 3D printing, which optimizes the entire design and manufacturing process.
  10. Environmentally friendly: The digital nature of CAD means less paper is used, resulting in a more environmentally friendly design process.

These benefits make CAD an indispensable tool in fields such as engineering, architecture, product design, construction and many others.

With our extensive experience in CAD design to produce detailed designs and a deep understanding of project-based requirements, we offer competitive pricing and a personalized approach to our customers’ needs.
