Italy's CAM Selects think3 ThinkDesign
 MILAN,
Italy, Nov 11, 2008 - CAM, an Italian company specialized in building
assembly lines for the automotive industry, has chosen ThinkDesign to
speed up the design process and streamline the production of hammings
and welding cells. The company offers a “turn-key” product: from design
to control, to assembling the requested machinery at the client’s plant.
It develops welding cells and equipment, checking fixtures for sheet
metal items, hammings for moving parts (doors, bonnet etc) and assembly
lines.
CAM works in Italy with clients of the like of Fiat,
Ferrari, Maserati, Giugiaro, and internationally with PSA Peugeot
Citroën, Porsche and Valmet Automotive. In particular, collaboration
with French company PSA Peugeot Citroën in 2001 sparked CAM’s decision
to streamline procedures by adopting a software program for flexible
design that was easy to use and that allowed for quick integration into
the company’s processes.
Following careful analysis of competitors’ offer available on the
market, CAM has chosen ThinkDesign, think3’s CAD solution, which proved
to be extremely helpful in machinery design and hammings in particular.
ThinkDesign is flexible, easy to use and tailored to meet the needs of
manufacturing industries. “Our design process is currently entirely in
3D. Creating a new machine is a process that requires a great deal of
commitment in terms of costs and human resources,” said Massimiliano
Monastero, Technical Manager at CAM. “Therefore it is extremely
important to streamline procedures implementing flexible and effective
solutions. ThinkDesign allows for increased productivity thanks to its
cutting edge technology, which enables full customization to the entire
productive process.”
ThinkDesign is the designer's ideal partner for defining mechanical
assemblies, breaking assemblies down into component lists, assessing the
overall dimensions of components and assemblies, checking the
feasibility of a shape sketched and drawn by the designer or drafted
using a special function.
“ThinkDesign has helped streamline the implementation of projects
while ensuring compliance with set deadlines”, said Monastero. “think3’s
software proved to be perfect for the design of hammings and welding
cells. Thanks to the flexibility of the tool, at CAM we were able to
integrate the libraries with specific elements for the hammings, which
are fundamental to streamline and speed up the entire process. Moreover,
thanks to the use of hyperMILL, a machine system developed by Open mind
(a partner of think3), CAM was able to establish direct communication
between design and production, eliminating conversion time. In addition,
using of the same interface in the two environments allows designers to
better understand developer needs and minimize errors.”
