Steel Fabrication Work and servives | Hemings Engineering, Suffolk

Prototyping

In today’s fast moving business climate it’s evermore important to be able to communicate quickly and accurately between customers and suppliers. Hemings Engineering has addressed this need with the implementation of the Radan suite of CAD/CAM software for 3D Modelling.

3D software models of complex sheet metal fabrications and full assemblies can be generated to eliminate design errors before any sheet metal work is undertaken. 3D and 2D images can then be used to help visualise your own designs for manufacturing suitability. Where you only have a sample we can produce 2D drawings to work to in manufacturing and for your future reference. These drawings can be output in AutoCAD compatible file formats DWG and DXF. We can also import your 3D data in the form of SAT format to speed up CNC program generation. 2D developments can be automatically and accurately produced ready for CNC tooling and nesting.

The use of Radan’s automatic sheet nesting capabilities enables us to quickly try out different CNC punching nests to evaluate the best material utilisation. Radan CAD/CAM software helps us to drive down cost, which in turn is passed on to you
