Hewlett-Packard - (HP) Hewlett-Packard designs, manufactures and services electronic products and systems for measurement, computation and communications. The company's products and services are used in industry, business, engineering, science, medicine and Company, today announced the availability of a complete computer-aided design computer-aided design (CAD) or computer-aided design and drafting (CADD), form of automation that helps designers prepare drawings, specifications, parts lists, and other design-related elements using special graphics- and calculations-intensive and computer-aided manufacturing computer-aided manufacturing (CAM), a form of automation where computers communicate work instructions directly to the manufacturing machinery. The technology evolved from the numerically controlled machines of the 1950s, which were directed by a set of coded (CAD/CAM CAD/CAM in full computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing. Integration of design and manufacturing into a system under direct control of digital computers. ) solution for sheet-metal design, processing and machining. The new solution, which has been defined jointly with TRUMPF, a leading mechanical-engineering company based in Germany, consists of CoCreate's SolidDesigner and SheetAdvisor solutions, and TRUMPF's ToPs 600 programming system and TrumaBend bending machines. According to according to prep. 1. As stated or indicated by; on the authority of: according to historians. 2. In keeping with: according to instructions. 3. CoCreate, the new solution ensures that users of TRUMPF bending machines will have at their disposal an optimal software environment for sheet-metal design and processing. This will allow them to implement a complete, production-oriented process chain for the development of sheet-metal parts. "This new initiative represents a combination of best-of-breed products from two companies that excel in their respective fields," said Tilman F. Schad, president and chief executive officer of CoCreate.
