Rotalink Express 3D CAD file service
Rotalink Limited announced an Express 3D CAD file service for application-specific assemblies from its wide range of miniature gearmotors and transmission components.
Rotalink aim to provide a 3D space model file within 24 hours that details all the essential mechanical and electrical information for the selected product. . 3D files include mounting holes, drive shafts, output gears, pulleys, connectors and when necessary, application customised features.
3D CAD software with built-in “digital prototyping” is now the leading technique for design visualisation. According to Rotalink, such software is available from several companies; however, design engineers often have to spend a significant amount of time creating 3D models for components like motor gearboxes by reworking manufacturers 2D drawings supplied in brochures or from website downloads.
The new service was introduced after several instances where Rotalink was able to quickly provide 3D CAD files specific to the customers’ application by referencing its own extensive design library to compile the virtual assembly.
Rotalink’s engineering team uses Autodesk® Inventor™ CAD software for design and production with many productivity enhancements and is able to output 3D space models in the STEP Application Protocol 203 file format which is universally accepted by all major 3D CAD software systems.
