Engineering expertise

Competitive advantage through mechanical design, engineering analysis and related product-development services.

As an engineering services partner, thinkdigital group provides competitively priced and scalable services delivered by full-time staff, aligned to the level of expertise required for each project.

Our experience spans NX, CATIA, Creo, Solid Edge, SolidWorks, Inventor, AutoCAD, Ansys, HyperMesh and MSC Nastran.

Computer-aided engineering (CAE)

CAE supports engineering analysis during product development. Our engineering experience includes Ansys, HyperMesh and MSC Nastran alongside CAD tools for mechanical design.

CAD conversion & 2D drafting

  • Raster-to-vector conversion from TIFF, PDF and scanned images.
  • Conceptual sketches and technical drawings converted to editable CAD drawings.
  • Mechanical drafting for manufacturing, assembly and fabrication drawings with bills of materials.

3D modelling

  • Conceptual 3D CAD models for better design communication.
  • 3D renderings, animation and fly-throughs for product marketing requirements.

CAD data migration

Legacy drafting and modelling data converted from one CAD system to another.

  • Migration to NX using Content Migration Manager.
  • Migration from I-deas, CATIA V4/V5, Pro/ENGINEER and SolidWorks.
  • CAD-to-CAD, 2D-to-3D, and scanned-image-to-3D conversion.

CAD automation & customization

Client-specific CAD automation and customization using domain and programming capabilities including C, C++, C# .NET, Java and VBA, leveraging APIs from NX, SolidWorks, Inventor, Solid Edge and CATIA.
