Pros / Cons
The main advantage of
the CybetCut system is that it reduces the time from the conceptual
design to the actual manufacturing (machining) of the product.
It is, however, restricted
to 3-axes milling and drilling manufacturing operations.
As we have described
in the More Info page, two routes can be
followed. Each has its advantages and disadvantages.
WebCAD
Its main advantage is
that manufacturing is guaranteed. However, WebCAD lacks the variety
of construction methods available to a standard commercial CAD tool,
and thus may feel restrictive to a dasigner. This is a tradeoff
for improved manufacturability of the final design.
Generic CAD
Its main advantages are
that it permits flexible input (design files) and it provides more
options for the process planner software ( in that it is not restricted
to follow the same way the features were created by the designer).
However, there is no guaranty of manufacturability during the design
phase.
