Designers Rely on KOMPAS-3D both for Work and Creativity
ASCON Group, one of the leading developer of CAD/AEC/PLM solutions, presents successful usage results of KOMPAS-3D by Robson Yuri, Flexonews Editora Ltda.
Many engineers and designers are so keen on modelling, that they apply their talents not only at work, but also for leisure time. Based in São Paulo, Brazil, Robson Yuri is one of them. Mr. Yuri is a designer with six years experience. He is working in Flexonews Editora Ltda as production engineer and press technician. The company offers labels converting, labeling and packings, as well as design parts and accessories. Flexonews serves the engineering sector of the machines manufacturing companies in Brazil. “When we think about a parametric software, we usually imagine complex devices, great constructions, machines with many details, aircrafts and many other products. Of course, it is so, but we must remember, that everything in the universe starts with very small - an atom, cell or fragment. This also occurs in drawing of great and complex structures. In contrast of many people think, parametric software KOMPAS-3D is applicable not only for professional engineering work, but also for design things to be used in our day-by-day life", - said Mr. Yuri.
Small and practical devices can be created by using just few parts and solids for revolving or drawing. To design “Step machine” for himself, Mr.Yuri relies on professional Mechanical Computer-Aided Design solution, KOMPAS-3D V10. “In this project I used KOMPAS-3D as tool to manufacture Gym machine used in gyms and at home” - mentioned Mr. Yuri - “I've started with a small solids of revolution or extrude, sheet body and some perforations. In other words - “sculpturing” the solid until getting the parts of the project”.
During the project Mr. Yuri used not only basic functional of the classical 3D modeller, but also special add-ons and applications for KOMPAS-3D, such as Steel Structures 3D (for creating parts of the chassis of the machine), sheet-metal tool (for bases of setting gangorra and feet) and catalogue of standard parts - TraceParts (for not designing of washers, nuts or screws). Few nuts-and-bolts (which are available in any building material store) were used to produce the real product.
KOMPAS-3D provides powerful functionality for far less money than its analogues. A good example is the affordable project that Robson Yuri has designed fast and professionally. “KOMPAS is a wonderful tool, versatile, practical and what is also very important – not as expensive as similar level MCAD solutions, so KOMPAS-3D is a very good software - both for work and creativity” - claimed Mr. Yuri.
