    Surface finish for glass

    Standard window glass wont do because we put chrome into glass (lets say its in the middle of it) so our glass is custom made ( only with the addition of chrome is this glass proper reading glass ). Because no glasshouse in our country can provide this kind of service, it is done in a...

    Surface finish for glass

    Heres the thing - we grind the glass to get 15 um roughness. But for our buyer that just isnt enough - this glass serves as reading glass ( sort of a pathway ) for a measuring device which means that a reading unit is driving on it and that reading unit requires +/- 10 um roughness. Before you...

    Surface finish for glass

    I have a question- my company is producing with measurement glass that has to be grinded very precisely. Now I've measured that we need additional treatment to get from 15 um (0,015 mm) to 10um (0,01 mm) without doing any damage to the surface. We are talking about mass production - this isnt a...

    Translation to Catia

    A lot of our new clients will only do buisness with a company that uses Catia as their 3D Cad software. Thats the only reason that I know of. To be honest I just dont like it - I've worked with both sofwares and I think SW is just better. As far as I know there's no technological reason for this...

    translation to catia

    I know there are a few programs that translate Catia files into Solidworks files. What about the other way around - Solidworks to Catia? My company is thinking about switching to Catia so we are discusing all options. Vid

    SolidWorks 2007 to Catia V5

    I worked with Catia before switching to SolidWorks and as far as Im concerned, SolidWorks is easier to work with, more user friendly - I worked with Catia for one year. Everything looks alike at a first glance, but for me SW is just more of a complete product ( kind of an upgrade ).

    Reference file

    Does anyone know if it is possible to change the reference file for a drawing? Last week I was doing two drawings at once so naturally I messed up - I finished one part, saved it, did a drawing, saved it, than I changed the part into a new part and saved it as a different file ( and yes, both...
