Computer Aided Engineering Specialists

Software Solutions for Manufacturing and Design Engineers

History

Mecad Systems has been in the CAD/CAM/FEA environment since 1985. We changed our name from Megkon Systems to Mecad Systems in 1993. We became the sole distributors of Mastercam in 1992, SigmaNEST in 1994 and of SolidWorks in 1995.


Support Oriented

As is evident from the profile of our staff with its strong technical emphasis, Mecad Systems is a support-oriented company. High quality support, however, is not possible without providing a training and consultation service. Therefore, Mecad Systems provides consultation work for the entire engineering market, especially in finite element analysis.


Infrastructure

Mecad Systems operates from its office in Centurion, Cape Town and Durban. The infrastructure is set up to facilitate customer support and allow sales support in the form of demonstrations, benchmark tests, etc. We use high-end PC systems, peripherals and administrative systems to ensure high quality standards. Our office includes a fully equipped product training facility, capable of hosting 16 trainees, for professional training classes.


MECAD SYSTEMS' Products

Mecad Systems represents several U.S. based companies in South Africa, the main ones being CNC Software of Tolland Connecticut, Dassault Systemes SolidWorks Corporation of Concord Massachusetts and SigmaTEK of Cincinnati, Ohio.

Mecad Systems is working closely with SigmaTEK on the development of advanced optimisation software for manufacturing automation. The software, SigmaNEST, is focused on laser cutting, plasma cutting and flame cutting equipment and allows material saving through improved material utilisation.
