Product Design and Development (CAD/CAM)

rockPRESS in recent years have embraced the latest technology as it has become available in both the spheres of Computer driven equipment and Drawing and Design.

There are seven CAD /CAM Programmers in our Drawing office and all of them are qualified tradesmen that have been trained in our workshop performing the operations for which they are now preparing the operating instructions.

It is therefore, no surprise that we are confident that we can translate your thoughts and ideas into high quality finished products.

Total flexibility is the keynote of this segment of the rockPRESS operations enabling us to deliver your needs and requirements exactly to your specifications.

You do not have to have elaborate drafted information, a sample or a rough hand sketch is sufficient to enable our draftsmen, with your assistance, to develop and draw the product to exactly satisfy your needs.

Where there are existing drawing files of the required product our draftsmen can convert your CAD files into (CAM) Machine files to issue operating instructions to the Laser Cutters or the Turret Punching machines.

Thanks to our computer technology we can readily import into our AUTOCAD Inventor a wide range of files including:

  • Autodesk Inventor Files (*>idw, *.iam, *.ipt)
  • Autocad Drawings (*.dwg)
  • DXF Files (*.dxf)
  • STEP Files (*.stp, *.ste, *.step)
  • IGES Files (*.igs, *.ige, *.iges )
  • SAT Files (*.sat)

Irrespective of the simplicity or complexity of the product design rockPRESS is fully equipped and capable of producing your product precisely to you requirements.

Why is this so?

rockPRESS has the technology, the equipment and the people to do the job.
