CAD/CAM in Education | ||||
Primary Schools
A site licence for TechSoft’s 2D Primary software is a modest investment to give pupils a great new tool for
doing a new type of drawing. If you back the software with a colour printer and either a
Stika or CraftROBO then you’ll have all you need to do
print-and-cut packages, stickers or projects with any of the applied vinyls. It’s real CAD/CAM, a great
teaching tool and exciting stuff for the pupils.
Stika SV-8E
A good starting point for those on a low budget. more info. 
Craft ROBO-TS
A low cost vinyl/card cutter. more info. |
Secondary SchoolsGetting the right CAD/CAM resources is essential to make the most of budgets and to give students the tools that they need. We recommend the packages featured here as a good place to start. If at all possible, machines should be sited where students have access to see work being machined, and to take some part in the process.In an ideal world students will have access to all resources whenever needed, but reality says that many departments are split and even clever timetabling won’t prevent bottlenecks. It might be sensible to consider several smaller machines in different areas of the department rather than one large machine in a ‘hub’. Some schools aspire to an enhanced level of CAD/CAM access, perhaps to meet the needs of Technology or Engineering Specialism and a remit to provide extended resources for neighbouring schools. Whatever the number or scale of machines needed, 2D Design V2 and SolidWorks will provide the core software needed to make them earn their keep. |
Colleges & UniversitiesTechSoft’s 2D Design V2 is becoming increasingly popular at FE and HE level where industry-specific software is used but a friendly ‘core’ package is needed. 2D Design V2 integrates easily with other systems and gives the most straightforward route possible to CAM output. With an increasing emphasis on continuity and the 14 – 19 curriculum, 2D Design V2 is an ideal bridge between education and industry software and, in fact, is usually every bit as powerful as most of its commercial ‘rivals’. All TechSoft machines are designed for commercial or industrial use and our larger machines are capable of the most advanced output routines needed at this higher level.
