Striker Systems sheet metal fabrication products are built on an AutoCAD platform. This provides numerous advantages for Striker Systems customers and the Striker Systems Development Team.

Striker Systems offers a truly integrated CAD/CAM solution that delivers robust design and drafting capabilities within a seamless environment. SS-Design serves as the primary design tool for many Striker Systems customers, providing an intuitive interface and powerful features. This integrated approach offers a level of flexibility and efficiency not typically found in conventional CAD/CAM systems.

Unlike other CAD/CAM solutions that rely on proprietary file types, Striker CAD/CAM uses the industry-standard AutoCAD DWG file format as its native format. This ensures your data remains secure, future-proof, and accessible by any CAD/CAM system that supports DWG or DXF files. As the most widely used 2D CAD software in the world, AutoCAD serves as the benchmark for translator development across the industry—guaranteeing Striker users the highest level of compatibility available.

Most Striker Systems customers have integrated solid modeling solutions into their engineering and manufacturing workflows. Striker’s PARTshare interface delivers a level of integration not found in other manufacturing software, allowing users to automate and manage the sharing of part and assembly data with ease. In addition, Striker provides direct OLE links to SOLIDWORKS, Autodesk Inventor, and Solid Edge, enabling seamless and efficient data exchange between systems.

Striker Systems products feature an enhanced user interface that will feel instantly familiar to anyone with AutoCAD experience, helping users quickly adapt and minimize the learning curve. While prior AutoCAD knowledge is helpful, it is by no means required. And because AutoCAD is the most widely used 2D CAD software in the world, a wealth of training resources is readily available for those looking to further develop their skills.

Unlike developers of stand-alone manufacturing products, the Striker Systems development team is not burdened with maintaining a proprietary software architecture to keep up with changes in operating systems, graphics, or hardware. Instead, Striker is built on the AutoCAD engine—the world’s de facto standard for CAD—allowing the development team to focus on feature innovation and accelerate software advancement.
