New 3D CAD Service
Advanced Machine & Engineering Co., (AME) Rockford, IL announces 3D CAD models available online. AME now offers 3D CAD models of its workholding fixtures, machine components and safety products on its Web site at www.ame.com. The site contains models of more than 2,500 individual parts.
The models are available in generic format or in 15 CAD software-specific formats, and they can be previewed and then downloaded as .stp, .igs, .dxf and .prt files. Among the downloadable models are Spieth machine components, Ambush(R) and Amdisk(R) machine components, Amflex(R) workholding components, Amforce(R) hydraulic clamping cartridges, Amrok(R) tombstones, Amlok(R) rod locks and Sitema machine safety products.
AME added this online service in response to customer demands and because an increasing number of engineers use the Internet to locate components for their designs. "We frequently get requests from customers for CAD models," says Doug Robinson, director of global marketing for Goellner, Inc., AME's parent company. "We are excited about bringing this level of service to our customers on our Web site. Adding 2D and 3D CAD drawings helps us serve them more effectively by providing what they need to more easily integrate our parts into their machines."
AME uses a model generation engine powered by Catalog Data Solutions (CDS), a San Jose, Calif.-based company. CDS' tools help companies to turn technical information into engineering designs.
