Seamless data transfer between the design and production stages of the product lifecycle is crucial to ensure manufacturability and production efficiency. Hexagon’s specialised computer-aided design (CAD) for computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) solutions bridge the gap from design to manufacturing, enabling efficient and accurate production.
Overview
3D computer-aided design (CAD) software is commonly used alongside or even to replace manual drafting processes in product design. Working in 3D CAD software enables engineers to automate elements of the design process and more accurately model and visualise designs, and to test them via simulation in computer-aided engineering (CAE) software. However, CAD software itself does not necessarily ensure the part design is manufacturable and can be produced at the correct quality.
Hexagon’s dedicated CAD for CAM (computer-aided manufacturing) solutions are designed to create a seamless workflow from 3D modelling to production. Powerful computer aided design capabilities allow designers and engineers the freedom to explore multiple designs and optimise the best candidates before exporting directly to the CAM software for manufacturing.

We’re climbing the automation curve
Our transition to Intelligent automation is accelerating. Ultimately, our innovations will give rise to new technologies and applications - many of which we’ve yet to imagine. Today, every Hexagon solution is mapped and tagged according to its level of automation, so customers can clearly track our progress towards the freedom of autonomy.
Human-driven
All tasks completed by human labour; no data is leveraged across the operation.
Human-assisted
Labour is primarily conducted by a human workforce. Some functions have been automated to simplify control.
Partial automation
Some tasks are automated for short periods of time, accompanied by occasional human intervention.
Conditional automation
Human workforce is used for intervention as autonomous operations begin to increase productivity.
Highly autonomous
Autonomous systems complete required tasks within specific bounds, unleashing data and building smart digital realities.
Full autonomy
A smart digital reality™ enables autonomous systems to complete all tasks without human intervention.
Land
Products that make an environmental impact in forest monitoring, material reusability, farming or water usage.
Air
Products that make an environmental impact in renewable energy, noise pollution elimination and e-mobility.
Water
Products that make an environmental impact in saving our oceans, reducing pollution and increasing access to clean water.
