A little about implementing Design Automation
A fresh concept ‘Design Automation in CAD/CAM field’ over the time is gaining acceptance worldwide. Over the last two decades, companies pitching for design automation have spent a lot of time, effort and money and discovered that the success depends on the following factors:

• The CAD platform must have strong features, that can be created in a fail-safe manner
• The APIs for the CAD Tool must be user friendly for ease of customization
• The customization team must be strong in programming as well as in the design knowledge
• The strength & perseverance of the management team
• The vision of the organization

Not many organizations have succeeded in adopting ‘Design Automation in CAD/CAM field’ but a few large organizations who can afford to fail a few times, have tasted success.

G4 Solutions has the necessary skills, patience and vision to create and provide affordable CAD/CAM automation products and services to the clients in India and abroad. Their philosophy is to go for generic automation tools that can be useful for several customers, so that the development cost per customer will be affordable.

The wonder kit does quality checking, incorporates company standards CAD practices, provides productivity enhancing special tools, monitors CAD/CAM software utilization in the organization, assesses the CAD skills of the designers, provides user-friendly & informative reports & effective data search management facilities to managers and provides excellent ROI to the organizations.
