Contract CAD & CAM Engineering
MicroTec LLC provides solid and surface modeling, tooling and fixture design, and CNC programming for mills, lathes, and wire EDM equipment.
Solid & Surface Modeling
3D part and assembly models created from drawings, sketches, or existing 2D documentation, including complex surface geometry.
Mold & Electrode Design
Core and cavity geometry, parting lines, slides, and lifters for plastic injection molds, with graphite EDM electrode extraction.
Sheet Metal Modeling
Sheet metal part design, conversion of existing 2D drawings into 3D models, and punch-press nest programming.
Tooling & Fixture Design
Custom tooling, workholding, and assembly fixtures designed for manufacturability and documented for fabrication.
CNC / CAM Programming
Toolpath generation and G-code for 2–4 axis vertical machining centers, lathes, and wire EDM, using SurfCam, Esprit, SmartCam, and SolidWorks, with setup documentation.
Post-Processors & Automation
Custom post-processor development and macros that adapt CAM output to a specific machine control or CNC file-management system.
Engagement Process
A typical CAD or CAM engagement proceeds in three stages.
Requirements Review
Review of drawings, models, material specifications, and, for CAM work, the target machine, controller, and available tooling.
Design or Programming
Model creation or toolpath development, with attention to tool reach, workholding, and manufacturability.
Delivery & Documentation
Delivery of native and neutral-format models (such as STEP and IGES), drawings, and, for CAM work, G-code with setup documentation.
