CADDIT Localizes T-Flex for Australia, New Zealand

CADDIT announced release of the T-Flex CAD/CAM/CAE CNC software platform to Australia and New Zealand. T-Flex seamlessly integrates complete parametric 3D solid, surface, dynamic motion modeling and FEA into one single easy-to-use program. T-Flex also offers extensive CNC manufacturing tools for milling, lathe turning, wire EDM, drilling, etching and laser cutting.

After twenty years of major development, T-Flex CAD, CAM software is fully emerging onto the global CAD market. The unique T-Flex hybrid, Parasolids-based solid-surface modeler offers designers special ability to apply free-form modifications to their parametric designs. Freeform modifications are then added to the file history and can themselves then be changed parametrically. Sketches are created using an intuitive system of construction vectors and parametric expressions. Users migrating files from SolidWorks, Solid Edge or Autodesk Inventor can read these models directly into T-Flex without the use of STEP or IGES. T-Flex CAD also includes both the FEA and Dynamics Express modules for lightweight model simulation and kinematics. But this entire package still costs just a fraction of similar functionality from the other mid-range CAD programs.

T-Flex integrated CAM software manufactures the designs created or imported in T-Flex CAD. Users enjoy fully-associative multi-axis milling, punching, lathe turning, drilling, engraving, wire EDM, flame and laser cutting. Precise mould and die, core and cavity, insert and slide machining can be finished from the same interface with a wide variety of CNC secondary operations. Custom post-processors and user-definable tools allow machinists to specify virtually any cut. Integrated 3D post-processing allows machinists to verify the final associative, parametric toolpath.

Many businesses require CAD CAM software that is affordable, fast, flexible and easy to use. T-FLEX is best utilized in a creative design department that is under pressure to produce high quality scale drawings and/or solid models with rapid turnaround. Products that are subject to frequent geometric changes are ideal. T-FLEX can easily produce dozens of new drawings/models per hour, complete with documentation, from a single parametric model. T-FLEX can also be used as general purpose 2D and 3D MCAD software. It includes everything required for the professional design.

“We believe T-Flex CAD CAM Software is a good fit for Australian engineers. It’s fast. It’s flexible. It’s inexpensive,” Ben Decker from CADDIT explained. “The CADDIT.net website demonstrates this a little, but the best is for companies to try it for themselves before going into something more expensive. They can download it free from us and try it for a few weeks without obligation.”
