What is fikus3dcad

fikus3dcad Is a design tool that is going to improve our workflow from a 2D/3D initial design to the final machined piece.

We can reduce significantly the time needed to get the geometry ready in order to mechanize it with Fikus, thanks to its easy to use interface and its “direct editing” functionality.

It shows us a list of objects that we are working with in our design area. It can include solids, surface, curves, drawing sheets, etc.

• Tree structure:

Fikus3dcad has three completely interconnected design workflow possibilities.

•Draft model : 2D design•Section model: 2D/3D mixed design•3D model: 3D design

• Design tab:

Draft:

• Easy of use.

• Create 2D geometries

and after that, use them for 3D constructions.

Designing with fikus3dcad

Draft:

• Work either in polar or cartesian coordinates.

• Use external references from 3D geometries files.

• Contour projection over draft sheet.

3D:

• Both solid and surfaces 3D object creation.

• Modify 3D imported geometries as if native.

• Quick and easy simplification of CAM processes.

Designing with fikus3dcad

3D:

• Incredibly easy of use with only 3 icons

Pull: Offset, extrude, revolve, sweep, draft and blend faces. Also round, chamfer or extruce faces.

Move: Move any object in 2D or 3D.

Fill: Simplify surface edges, “heal” many cuts made into

geometry, concatenate multiple sketched curves.
