3D Computer-aided Design, also known as CAD or MCAD (mechanical computer-aided design) is defined as the use of computer systems to aid in the creation, modification, analysis, or optimization of a design. The benefits of CAD include, but are not limited to improvement in productivity in the design process, shorter lead times, greater design analysis and fewer design errors through computer elimination of errors in design, drafting, and documentation.

Additionally, flexibility in design leads to easy modification per client request which result in higher efficiency across the board.

Computer Aided Design and Manufacturing (CAD/CAM) is a software that we use to both design and manufacture products. CAD is responsible for the design and documentation of your product, while CAM takes your designs and manufactures a physical replica of your product.

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis simulates how liquids and gases pass through or around objects. The use of computer software to simulate these variables can save time and funds which otherwise would be allocated to a real life physical test.

Guill uses Fluid Dynamics software from COSMOSFloWorks in conjunction with SolidWorks.

Guill uses CAMWorks to wipe out hours of complex programming with CNC, thanks to Automatic Feature Recognition (AFR) defining machinable features while the Technology Database defines operations to automatically create toolpaths at the click of a button. CAMWorks uses SolidWorks technology to create toolpaths that ensure the part you create is the part you designed.

Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is a computerized method used to predict how a product reacts to real-world forces such as vibration, heat, fluid flow, and other physical effects. FEA helps predict the behavior of products affected by many physical effects, including: mechanical stress, mechanical vibration, fatigue, motion, heat transfer, fluid flow, electrostatics, and plastic injection molding.

Guill’s use of SolidWorks flow simulation allows leveraging of numerous programs as well as being an effective tool for communicating ideas. The same solid model geometry can be used for fluid flow, stress, and thermal analysis, as well as CNC programs and even for rendering designs for marketing purposes.

Guill uses Teksoft CAD software to model all custom designs. Teksoft holds the distinction of introducing the first PC-based CAD software, and continues to offer the most innovative technology for producing cutting edge products.
