Web-based CAD/CAM for gear shaper cutters

New Web-based CAD/CAM system:

Benefitsto the company:

Requires a lot of specialist knowledge and skills

No specialised CAD software available in the market

Demanding flexibility in producing customised cutters

Employs novel analytical model of gearing

Platform independent solution

Flexibility in design

Better accuracy

Improved data transfer,

storage & retrieval

Wastage reduction

Lead time reduction

Increase sales

Easy integration with the rest infrastructure
