CAD/CAM

Tula Machine utilizes Mastercam X2 to program our CNC machines.  Mastercam allows us to open up many different file types that our customers can provide us with.  Mastercam is capable of working with solid models or 2D drawings.  Utilizing solid models allows us to program directly off of a customers supplied model to save time and errors.

CAD

A new addition to Tula Machine's Engineering capabilities is the purchase of Solidworks 2007.  Solidworks allows Tula to create  drawings of complex parts and assemblies.  Solidworks will be used to create drawings of your reverse engineered parts as well as fixtures and process drawings.

Reverse Engineering

With all of our inspection equipment and CAD/CAM capabilities, we can reverse engineer your part for you.  Got a part, but no drawing?  Not a problem here!  We'll Reverse Engineer your part, create a drawing and keep it on file for next time.  We'll discuss the application of the part with you so that we are able to correctly tolerance and manufacture the part.
