Challenge	Dook Techniek, a small company in the Netherlands, was founded in 2008 by Jos Tacke. Initially, the company was primarily involved in electrical engineering, PLC programming, and renewable energy. However, over the years, the company has gradually shifted towards mechanical engineering and mechatronics. The company's founder, Jos Tacke, was working on a label press project for a client, which involved receiving the 3D design and mechanical parts and ensuring their assembly. The controls, hydraulic, electrical, and safety facilities were to be built in consultation with the client. The digital transformation in the industry made Jos realize the importance of CAD software. Initially, he barely used CAD software and often received ready-made drawings with dimensions from his clients. However, with the advent of digital drawings, he had to keep his digital skills up-to-date. Dook Techniek was using AutoCAD® LT to support its operations, but Jos was looking for a 3D package for mechanical engineering that was also available as a perpetual license. Read More
About Customer	Dook Techniek is a small company based in the Netherlands, founded in 2008 by Jos Tacke. The company initially focused on electrical engineering, PLC programming, and renewable energy.

Solution	In search of a more suitable CAD software, Jos was introduced to BricsCAD Mechanical by CADkoop, an official BricsCAD reseller. BricsCAD Mechanical was a 3D package for mechanical engineering that was also available as a perpetual license, which was exactly what Jos was looking for. He decided to switch to BricsCAD Mechanical as it contained all the tools he needed as a machine builder, including sheet metal, support for 2D drawing and 3D modeling, and various materials. Moreover, everything worked in DWG. Along with BricsCAD Mechanical, Jos also purchased the Communicator for BricsCAD to import and export STEP files. He expects to work more and more with BricsCAD in the future, as the better his drawings are, the more time he saves with them. The BricsCAD tutorials significantly help him with his self-study, and in case he can’t figure something out, he can quickly get in touch with his contact at CADkoop. Read More Log in to view content
