Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I create certain designs for parts to be printed on a 3d Printer. The Original STL file is created using the design capabilities of Corelcad. I also design development ideas and plans for the future builds of our products. The design capabilities and ease of use make the experience even better. All tools are the same available as Other CAD systems which cost 10 times or more.

Pros

  • 3d Modeling
  • Easy to use tools

Cons

  • Movement for 3D designs.
  • Some tools could be easier to access.

Most Important Features

  • 3d Modeling
  • 2d Drafting
  • Importing STL Files

Return on Investment

  • Fast and easy to use
  • Low Memory usage so I can use equipment with not such big technical requirements.
