User guide helps CAD enclosure application
Protocase
Protocase Designer user guide
Protocase Designer is a free downloadable 3D computer-aided design (CAD) enclosure design application.
The goal of the Protocase design team was to make this application as intuitive as possible, thus minimising the learning curve and for the user.
Also, by offering this software free of charge, clients can avoid spending excessive dollars on costly mechanical CAD software.
Protocase Designer is based on templates, a starting point for designing an enclosure or panel, and allows the user to customise the enclosure to their specific needs.
Protocase Designer currently hosts four templates, which are: rack-mount template; u-shape template; l-shape template; and flat-panel template.
This user guide has been designed to assist the user to understand the basic functionality of Protocase Designer.
Apart from this user guide, Protocase has tutorials intended to explore the basics of enclosure design, silk screening and self-clinching fasteners among others in its tutorial homepage.
The guide can be downloaded from the box on the right of this page.
