Computer Aided Design (CAD) and Rapid Prototyping

Natick, MA

The Natick Soldier Center has the capability to create three-dimensional (3D) solid Computer Aided Design (CAD) models, conduct engineering studies utilizing Finite Element Analysis (FEA), and produce 3D prototypes directly from Computer Aided Design (CAD) data. This is a useful tool for evaluating component/system design issues prior to actual fabrication. In some cases, the prototype can be used directly for manufacturing actual parts. The system allows for the fast, efficient, and cost effective development of systems and their components while conducting “what if” studies for optimization.
