What software's are the best way to render 3D CAD files? I am using CATIA v5, and I can export files to a variety of CAD standard files, iges, stp, wrl, and step. I want to be able to render these files in a high end rendering software. I was thinking of using 3D Max and using VRay but It has a steep learning curver to use it. Has anyone got any recommendations?
Whats an easy to use 3D Modeling CAD program? I am looking for an easy to use 3D modeling CAD type program. I have tried CATIA however its very involved and requires very specific inputs. At the moment I am using MS Paint to just create rough outline schematics, and I would like to step up and begin transferring some of my ideas to working 3D models. I have very rough ideas that have no specific measurements or tolerances, I am just looking to create easy visual proof of concept models that would show working parts. Any ideas?
What specs should a computer have for running 3D CAD software? I have been experiencing a lot of fatal errors in the auto cad program and want to upgrade my computer to more ram faster processor and better video card. I have several different quotes on several different machines. I want to get a PC power full enough but don't want to spend way too much by going overboard on the specs.
Can a layperson create a 3D CAD file if the shape is fairly simple? Basically a triangular prismic shape with a threaded knob protruding from its base, pretty simple; is this something I should be paying a service to create or, given CAD software, could I (with no experience with graphic design) get the job done? Thanks! I guess what I was asking was how much of a learning curve is there on most CAD software

How much would tanning bed 3d CAD files w/ wiring diagrams from a major distributor be worth? How much would tanning beds in solidworks/autocad format be worth, lets say it was from 5-8 beds types from a major tanning bed company. If they were slightly modified, could they be changed in the slightest way and a new company be formed? Creating a new line of tanning beds? Are drawings like these valueble? How much do you think they could be sold for, i'm sure there are people out there who would like to start their own tanning bed manufacturer.

2D drawings from 3D CAD models? I have a piece of equipment constructed out of many parts drafted in autocad 08. Is there any way that I could make 2D plans for each part based on their 3D models? The foundry can't work off of 3D models, they need 2D blueprints. Thanks for your answer louis, but viewports only give you different perspectives of the 3D model. I want to actually convert them to 2D drafts.
hi help 3d cad models? can somebody explain me how 3D cad models can be used in the design process including geometric modelling, design evaluation, automated drafting. plz help
I have a full sketch book, 3D renderings & CAD drawings of furniture designs, how do I align myself w/ a buyer I am an experienced architectural designer (commercial, educational, industrial...). The realm of furniture design is a release for me at the end of the day. In turn, I have compiled a full sketchbook, 3D renderings of my favorite collections, and CAD drawings. How do I market these designs? Find a "friend of a friend" who is interested and hope they have wealthy friends. This would be a start, but I am looking for a "durable competitive advantage" over another "Joe" in the same boat as me. Should I, if possible, sell the entire collection? Or am I way off, and is there another direction I should be considering? I've toured production facilities, continue to research products/material, and complete designs frequently. I am a designer not a marketing major. How should I align myself with this network? I'm interested in capitalizing on these designs, how do I connect the dots?
How do engineers test their prototypes and ideas from CAD drawings? Do engineers have a program where they can import the 3D CAD drawing and test it for physics and desired performance? Is there an industry standard simulation software for these things? If engineers design an engine or parts of an engine what is the simulation environment they test it in? Please let me know your ideas and mention any software you might have heard of that is used in the (mechanical/electrical/auto) engineering industry - from laying out oil hoses for a piston to creating a rotating crank for that piston. Integration of circuits and electronics with this mechanical simulation would be ideal as well. I would like to design the "under the hood" portion of the car with this software (designing the body would be nice too). I suppose you would be able to design something like a toaster, shaver, iron or a lawn mower as well. Any ideas are greatly appreciated!!!!!!
Is the Dell XPS M1530 the best for CAD & 3D rendering work? I am about to get a new laptop through work (so no cost restrictions). I work in the mining industry with 3D models/ cad software. I travel, so need a laptop. I am looking at the DELL XPS M1530. I am worried about the graphics...I have had a Dell precision m65 in the past but was dissapointed with the entry level graphics on this system (surpac was crap with big DTMs)...is the xps M1530 any better? What is an alternative?
