Which 3D drafting software is the best to learn mechanical design?

CREO (Pro/Engineer) has a wide range of user groups, Pro/Engineer has advanced parametric design, feature-based design of solid modeling and easy to transplant the design of the idea of the characteristics of the software in line with the mechanical design of engineers and technicians think.Pro/Engineer has more than twenty modules for the user to choose from, so it can be the entire design and production process integrated together. Pro/Engineer has more than twenty modules for users to choose, so it can integrate the whole design and production process together. In recent years, Pro/Engineer has become the most attractive software in the field of three-dimensional mechanical design, and has been widely used in Taiwan mold factories. Early years running in the workstation under the Unix system, after the impact of the software waterfall interface ease of use is not good, change the face of the launch of the "Wildfire Edition", but the software is still cumbersome, not easy to get started, due to the early years of Pro/Engineer laid a solid foundation, has a large number of old user groups, and very comprehensive features, in the market is still a very powerful CMS. The market is still a very powerful CAD system. With the huge market pressure and other CAD systems eating away at users, in 2010 PTC launched the Lightning Plan, funded $200 million to develop a new CAD system CREO, CREO collection of parametric technology + direct modeling technology + visualization technology, the latest version of the CREO5.0.

Unigraphics NX technology is powerful and difficult to meet rivals! Unigraphics originated in the U.S. McDonnell Douglas (MD) company's products, running in the early years of workstations under the Unix system, suppressed by Pro/Engineer, in November 1991 was merged and purchased into the U.S. General Motors EDS Division, Unigraphics by its independent subsidiary UGS development, and the same was merged and purchased into the SDRC I-deas software integration, the launch of Unigraphics NX. deas software and launched UnigraphicsNX, a high-end CAD mechanical engineering assistance system for design, analysis and manufacturing engineering in aerospace, aviation, automotive, general machinery and molds and dies. unigraphicsNX combines superior parametric and variational techniques with traditional solid, wireframe and surface functionality. siemens' The acquisition of Siemens allowed UG to gain full development, and now the status of Unigraphics NX is not Pro/Engineer can not be moved, and its only rival should be the high above the CATIA. the latest version for UG12.0.

CATIA high above the top of the top of the most CAD system CATIA is a high-end CAD system developed by France's Dassault Aviation, with many modules. CATIA is a high-end CAD system developed by the French company Dassault Aviation, with many modules, running on the Unix system of workstations in the early years, and Dassault Aviation, as we all know, is a French military enterprise.CATIA software enjoys a high reputation for its powerful surface design features in the field of aircraft, automotive, ship design, etc. CATIA's surface modeling features are reflected in the fact that it provides an extremely rich set of modeling tools to support the user's modeling needs. For example, its unique high-frequency Bezier curve surface function, the number of times can reach 15, can meet the special industry on the surface smoothness of the demanding requirements. CATIA market is robust, never appeared rivals, its powerful function should be said to be any one 3D CAD system can not be compared. The latest version is CATIA V6.

SolidWorks started later, and can use more advanced technology to develop software, so the whole system framework design of SolidWorks is more rigorous, comprehensive interface, interface humanization. 1993 PTC's vice president of technology and CV's vice president of the establishment of SolidWorks, Inc. SolidWorks was developed in November 1995, was the first fully parametric feature modeling CAD system based on the Windows platform, due to the outstanding technology and market performance of SolidWorks, finally in 1997 by the French company Dassault to three hundred and ten million of the high market value of SolidWorks wholly owned merger, the company's original shareholders with the original thirteen million U.S. dollars. SolidWorks is the world's largest 3D CAD system in terms of market share, and is a technologically innovative software system that has become the standard for 3D mechanical design software.
