CAD/CAM Process Efficiency Project Kick-off

CAD Schroer teams up with the University of Duisburg-Essen and other industry partners to kick off a joint project as part of the German “Automotive & Manufacturing” development initiative

Cambridge, UK and Pittsford, NY – 22 January 2014: The initiative addresses efficiency challenges in the automotive and manufacturing sector. The project harnesses university resources and industry expertise to help create manufacturing-ready modelling methods for improving CAD/CAM process efficiency.

Projektstart für Effizienzsteigerung in der CAD-CAM-Prozesskette
Lean manufacturing can start with CAD – joint project is part of North Rhine-Westphalian competition
Das Projekt wird durch die EU „Ziel 2“-Regionalfonds gefördert
The joint project is funded through the EU “Ziel 2” regional fund

Considering Manufacturing Costs during the Design Process

One of 18 finalists selected from 35 projects submitted to receive German “Automotive & Manufacturing“ initiative funding, the two-year joint project includes the University of Duisburg-Essen, CAD Schroer, RWTH University Aachen, and the companies Berghoff and info-key.

Improving CAD/CAM Process Efficiency

“By tackling these issues with a multi-disciplinary project team, we hope to be able to make a serious contribution to CAD/CAM process optimisation“, says Sergej Schachow, who is looking after the project at CAD Schroer, the global engineering solutions provider. “Our team’s strength lies in the ability to combine new ideas from university research with our longstanding CAD software development experience and direct feedback from manufacturers, who face these challenges every day.“

“Automotive & Manufacturing” Development Initiative

“Automotive & Manufacturing” is a development initiative driven by Germany’s most populous state, North Rhine-Westphalia, and supported by the European Regional Development Fund. It encourages companies, universities and research organisations to cooperate more closely, developing new project ideas to drive the sector forward.
