Below are some of the typical resources used to obtain materials, tools and technical calculations needed during the manufacturing design and machining process.

 

Design Software

Several design software packages are available to ASU students, faculty and staff. These are particularly useful for our self-service machine shop users.

This is a short list of the most popular software available. Due to licensing restrictions, not all software will be available to all users. Individual use and access will vary.

  • AutoDesk for Education (3-D design and engineering software)
  • Cadence (Cadence design software plays an important role in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Departments)
  • HSMWorks (Software for machining from a solid model)
  • LabVIEW CORE (For science and engineering systems. LabVIEW Tools Network is used to accelerate productivity and expand the power of your software through certified, NI and third-party add-ons. Install LabVIEW Core first before all other LabVIEW apps.)
  • Matlab 2016a Faculty/Staff (Control and simulation software for engineering systems.)
  • Matlab 2016a Student
  • Origin Pro (This data analysis and graphing software works with LabVIEW, Matlab and Excel.)
  • Solid Edge ST9 (3-D design and engineering software)
  • SolidWorks (3-D design, solid modeling and engineering drawing software)
  • JAWS 17 (JAWS provides speech and Braille output for the most popular computer apps on your PC.)
  • 7 Zip (Zip program to control large files)
