CAD software specialized for manufacturing
Creating, supplementing and modifying CAD models with Tebis
The CAD model is the digital template for the real part to be manufactured. High surface quality in the CAD model is a prerequisite forhigh quality in the finished components. Well-prepared CAD models also lay the foundation for automatable NC programming.
Tebis CAD software components provide a large number of function packages for manufacturing-related design tasks in various industries. These include:
- Creation of CAD free-form surfaces, designing with points, curves and surfaces in 3D space combined with ruled geometry
- Reverse engineering method that is based on scanned real parts, enables generation of the digital CAD twin and updates it in the event of manual changes
- Design preparation of existing CAD models for their NC manufacture on milling machines, lathes, laser cutting machines and additional methods
- Derivation of sinker electrodes from the part geometry to be generated in mold manufacturing
- Creation of active surface geometry in sheet-metal draw-die manufacturing
- Compensation of springback effects in sheet-metal parts in sheet-metal draw-die manufacturing
- Qualitative optimization of existing surface models
Designed with prepared templates
Tebis Version 4.1 comes with parametric/associative surface and solid technology
Tebis Version 4.1 marks the launch of the new Tebis CAD generation in 2020. Designers use the new surface and solid design functions for fixtures, for mold and die design and for preparing the CAD model for manufacturing. A particular highlight is the consistent parametric functionality implemented throughout.
"The question of how parts can quickly and easily adapt their design to each other concerns everyone who works in manufacturing," says Peter Obermaier, who is responsible for the rollout of Version 4.1 at Tebis. "We see an enormous potential for time savings and knowledge transfer for our customers. In the future, not only NC programming but also design activities will be highly automated in Tebis."
In parametric/associative design, element parameters such as length, radius or direction can be easily changed after the initial design in a context-sensitive menu or through the new object tree. The entire part then updates itself automatically. Design tasks can be standardized via templates.
