Problem
Traditional CAD and CAE systems rely on disparate scientific foundations, leading to inefficiencies in product development cycles due to conflicting object representations and manual data transfer between design and simulation tools. This disjointed workflow increases time-to-market and limits the ability to rapidly iterate on designs.
Solution
SkAD Labs' Skeleton|CAx™ is a virtual product development software that unifies CAD, CAE, and CAM into a single CAx kernel, enabling engineers to design, simulate, and optimize on the same digital model. Built on Medial Axis Representation™ (MAR™) technology, Skeleton|CAx™ allows for CAD drawing, finite element analysis, and computational fluid dynamics simulations directly on a unified model. This integrated approach eliminates digital process gaps, reduces manual tasks, and accelerates the product development lifecycle.
Target Audience
The primary audience includes mechanical engineers and R&D teams seeking to accelerate product development, improve design quality, and reduce costs associated with traditional CAD/CAE workflows.
