To continue growing in the manufacturing industry where digitalization is accelerating, seamless operation of 2D/3D data is the key!

First, let's review the workflow! Select 2D/3D CAD tools suitable for the right tasks to save on licensing costs. *Trial version available.

There are various CAD programs available in the market, ranging from 2D to 3D, and from low-end to high-end, with a wide range of price points and specifications. Our 'BricsCAD' is a CAD that excels in compatibility with the 2D format DWG, which is widely used in the manufacturing industry. In addition to intermediate files commonly used in manufacturing, such as STEP and Parasolid, it also supports reading and writing native data formats from various brands of 3D CAD. As 3D design spreads in the manufacturing industry, which is accelerating its digitalization, there are also areas where 2D design must adapt. In the future, seamlessly handling 2D/3D data will be key to optimizing workflows. **Points for Seamless 2D/3D Operations with BricsCAD** - Support for file formats prevalent in the manufacturing industry - User-friendly direct modeling features - Capability for BIM expansion - Affordable perpetual licenses that cover 2D, 3D, and BIM - Comprehensive Japanese language support for users *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.*

2D CAD software for designing production lines and equipment. Adopting CAD software that bridges 2D and 3D for outstanding mass production line design in car manufacturing.

At Mazda Corporation, we have been using CAD software with high market share and free CAD software, but both had challenges, and we were looking for a product to transition to. As a 2D CAD software for designing production lines and equipment, we introduced 'BricsCAD', which we provide. Utilizing a licensing system that can be used globally, it is also being utilized at overseas production sites. Additionally, by using "BricsCAD Communicator," we are streamlining the process of converting 3D part design data created with high-end CAD into 2D CAD. [Challenges Before Implementation] ■ A CAD software that is compatible with 3D, 2D, and architectural CAD is needed. ■ The cost of traditional paid software is high, leading to a shortage. ■ Free CAD software causes disruptions in business due to bugs and other issues. *For more details, please refer to the related catalog "BricsCAD Implementation Case Studies."
