Although the course uses the CAD program DraftSight, because of the similarity between most professional level CAD applications you can use AutoCAD or the free NanoCAD as well. This increases not only the efficiency of the entire operational procedures and minimizes possible input errors, but also facilitates the joint design processes in bigger or distributed design teams.Once you have learned the basics in CAD drawing, you will have a skill that will last you a lifetime. Therefore, the necessary model data for the entire process chain have to be entered only once, and any modification to the product model will affect the succeeding process steps. PASCAM offers comprehensive capabilities to realize any kind of manufacturing-ready product models, based on solid wood, wood composites and other materials (metal, glass, plastic), whilst all relevant data for order processing and manufacturing is being derived in the process directly from the finished 3D product model. Material database for quick, automated replacing of wood-based carrier and covering materials, as well as laminates, such as veneer. The encompassing design freedom, offered by the parametric 3D modeling engine in SOLIDWORKS remains fully available at all time. The included PASCAM user databases increase the reliability, flexibility and efficiency at the design process, without restricting the freedom of design of the product models in any way. So users can customize their product models in the shortest possible time and realize specific customer demand very efficiently and economically. All underlying sub-assemblies, the attached parts and components, as well as the manufacturing features, such as glazing rebates, row of holes etc., are modified parametrically, according to those dimensional changes.

existing cabinet assemblies very quickly and flexibly from the outside-in just by modifying the external dimensions of the cabinet assembly. With the help of the intelligent PASCAM design logic for an easy generation of variant model assemblies, users are able to resize e.g. Due to the parametric design of the individual components, provided by the PASCAM Variable Manager, PASCAM users get a maximum of dimensional variability to easily modify and adapt existing product models, be it individual pieces or product series, a common requirement in the woodworking industry. Be it in terms of design-related or simple dimensional changes, or changes regarding the materials or the surface design. With the help of self-managed databases, users can efficiently draw on existing, self-designed 3D product models and field-proven design templates, which can be customized by parametric programming in a very easy, quick and reliable manner to meet any customer's demand.

Creating and managing various product variants for custom manufacturing is enabled by means of simple configurations.

Quick and reliable designing and 3D modeling of manufacturing-ready individual pieces and large-scale production, based on wood and wood-based materials is the main spectrum of tasks for PASCAM WoodWorks.
