PASCAM con@3D as an integrated engineering system enables your company to generate configurations and customized product variants based on existing SolidWorks^® models. Making PASCAM con@3D an ideal tool for your sales staff, accessing a single SolidWorks^® installation from countless work seats, via an Internet/Intranet based online connection. Editing and modifying the existing SolidWorks^® models can be done without any SolidWorks^® qualification.

The integrated PASCAM software solutions PASCAM WoodWorks or VariXPASCAM provide the experienced SolidWorks^® designer at the prepending design process of modelling the master configuration files with intuitively and transparently operated tools for the application of expert design knowledge, modification rules, user permission, etc. Additional interfaces for the exchange of data with external systems (e.g. accounting programs, office applications, etc.) are standardized and can be implemented individually. By connecting PASCAM Bea to PASCAM con@3D the maximum configuration level of the PASCAM con@3D engineering system is accomplished, enabling the retail consumer or sales staff to send the customized SolidWorks^® models from the internet browser right to the CNC machine, without further additional editing or manual CAM processing by a skilled CAM operator.

PASCAM con@3D as a flexible eBusiness platform:

The product configurator PASCAM con@3D is still under development. A lower level solution called PASCAM con@3D Var is already available for in-house product configuration engineering. Development goals for the consumer market are defined, but the product itself is still at the beginnings. Nevertheless we would like to show you, where the coming developments will lead us and what kind of efforts we want to undertake to achieve them.
