FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

VirtualCAD's Custom CAD Modeler™ Builds Customized 3D CAD Models on the Fly

BARRIE, ON, Canada, March 11, 2004 – VirtualCAD Inc. unveils their Custom CAD Modeler™ (CCM) technology. Manufacturers of custom mechanical components can provide their customers with the ability to dimension their own parts, and download the CAD models of those custom parts in seconds.

VirtualCAD states the CCM technology can easily be tailored to integrate into any web site. Interface design is customized to match the desired specifications process and steps. Design and Engineering rules are embedded into the logic to ensure the part meets manufacturing and operational requirements.

The Custom CAD Modeler™ is particularly appropriate to custom part manufacturers that do not have a catalog of standard parts since customers typically specify the designs themselves. However, Engineers and Designers also need CAD models of standard parts displayed in different positions. For instance: a spring at a specific level of deflection, or a cylinder with the rod at an exact point in the stroke. The CCM makes this possible in a very User-friendly manner. The CCM is truly the highest form of fast and detailed Design Support. It also offers a distinct Sales Advantage to that manufacturer, as it cements their product into the design at the beginning of the design cycle. Further, the part number and name of the manufacturer are ‘engraved' into the CAD model for future reference.

Custom CAD Modeler™ demonstrations of an Air Cylinder, and Integral Shaft and Wheel Hub Bearings are available at: www.virtualcad.com/CCM.php.

About VirtualCAD

VirtualCAD Inc. is a privately held Design Engineering Firm established in 1992. It is focused on addressing the inefficiencies of the modern design process, including accessibility to quality 3D CAD models, and the lack of a common reference for all parties involved in mechanical design and part sourcing. www.VirtualCAD.com is a new website that offers FREE, high-detail 3D CAD models of standardized parts in tandem with Manufacturer Part Number Interchanges. It is an inexpensive and highly effective platform for manufacturers of mechanical components to market their products and provide design support that will see the inclusion of their parts into their customers' designs. VirtualCAD also provides functionality that allows individual manufacturer and third party websites to offer 3D CAD models for download.
