  • Mitcalc Brochure
    MITCalc is a multi-language set of mechanical, industrial and technical calculations for the day-to-day routines. It will reliably, precisely, and most of all quickly guide customer through the design of components, the solution of a technical problem, or a calculation of an engineering point without any significant need for expert knowledge. MITCalc contains both design and check calculations of many common tasks, such as: tooth, belt, and chain gear, beam, shaft, springs, bolt connection, shaft connection and many others. There are also many material, comparison, and decision tables, including a system for the administration of resolved tasks. The calculations support both Imperial and Metric units and are processed according to ANSI, ISO, DIN, BS, CSN and Japanese standards. It is an open system designed in Microsoft Excel which allows not only easy user-defined modifications and user extensions without any programming skills, but also mutual interconnection of the calculations, which is unique in the development of tailor-made complex calculations. The sophisticated interaction with many 2D (AutoCAD, AutoCAD LT, IntelliCAD, Ashlar Graphite, TurboCAD) and 3D (Autodesk Inventor, SolidWorks, Solidedge) CAD systems allows the relevant drawing to be developed or 3D models to be inserted in a few seconds. OEM licensing of selected calculations or the complete product is available as well. MITCalc installation packages are available at www.mitcalc.com and after installation customer have 30 days to freely test the product. CAD support 2D CAD systems: Most of the calculations allow direct output to major 2D CAD systems. Just choose your CAD system in the calculation and select the desired view (a projection type).

  • CAD/CAM Selection for Small Manufacturing Companies
    CAD/CAM SELECTION FOR SMALL MANUFACTURING COMPANIES By Tim Mercer A Research Paper Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Master of Science Degree in Management Technology Approved for Completion of 3 Semester Credits INMGT 735 Research Advisor The Graduate College University of Wisconsin May 2000 The Graduate School University of Wisconsin - Stout Menomonie, WI 54751 Abstract Mercer Timothy B. CAD/CAM Selection for Small Manufacturing Companies Master of Science in Management Technology Linards Stradins 2/2000 71 pages Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association In today's fast paced world, CAD/CAM systems have become an essential element in manufacturing companies throughout the world. Technology and communication are changing rapidly, driving business methods for organizations and requiring capitalization in order to maintain competitiveness. Knowledge prior to investing into a system is crucial in order to maximize the benefits received from changing CAD/CAM systems. The purpose of this study is to create a methodology to aid small manufacturing companies in selecting a CAD/CAM system. The objectives are to collect data on CAD/CAM systems that are available in the market today, identify important criteria in system selection, and identify company evaluation parameters. Acknowledgements Thanks to Dr. Rich Rothaupt for introducing me to CAM, survey help, and providing guidance with CAD/CAM applications. Thanks to Dr. Martha Wilson for early revisions, survey help and overall guidance. Thanks to my good friend and soon to be Dr. Linards Stradins for his patience, leadership, and wisdom. His invaluable knowledge and dedication as my advisor has helped me both personally and academically.
