Finding with the partial and inverse 3D similarity search Example lid for a canVideosMechanical EngineerWith the partial 3D similarity search it is possible to select specific surfaces and topologies within a 3D solid and find other 3D models with identical or similar arrangements of topologies.
Find with 3D Grid Search Example Pipe BendVideosSearch & FindA common thinking error when introducing geometric similarity search products is that engineers have an idea which can be found without any problems. In reality, however, this is not so. The real problem, which is often overlooked, is that an object must first exist in 3D in order to be found at all. But often the creation of such a geometry takes longer than the search.
Find with the 2D Sketch function VideosSearch & FindWith the sketch function and some geometric values a search can be performed WITHOUT the presence of a geometric 3D object.
Find with a combination of search methodsVideosSearch & FindWhen searching for 3D models and parts within ENTERPRISE 3Dfindit, combining different search methods can lead to more accurate and relevant results.
Finding with predictive engineering KOGNIAVideosSearch & FindIn recent decades, the requirements for engineering and the creative development of designs have changed significantly: Instead of reinventing the wheel over and over again, the task today is to use knowledge already gained from existing designs and to transfer known solutions from one application to another in a meaningful way. This is particularly important with regard to the increasing number of individual designs, where existing designs are precisely adapted to the individual needs of the customer.
End Of LifeVideosMechanical Engineer "End of Life" (EOL) and "Product Change Notifications" (PCN) are two important terms used in the manufacturing and electronics industry. They refer to the life cycle of products and the communication of changes to customers or stakeholders.
Digital Twin and important informationIntegration in CAD/PLM/ERPCatalogs & Standards & Company PartsVirtual commissioning (also known as virtual commissioning) is the process of testing a system or plant in a virtual environment before it is put into operation in the real world. The Digital Twin plays an important role in this process.
Semiautomatic classification within the CAD system NXVideosClassificationThe typical process of semi-automatic classification based on a CAD system:
Provision of master data in several international languagesVideosCatalogs & Standards & Company PartsThere are several reasons why it might make sense to have and prepare master data for engineering in several languages:
Master data enrichment with additional information from ERP / PLMVideosStandardizationMaster data enrichment refers to the process by which a company's master data (basic data) is supplemented with additional information. This can help make data more complete, accurate and relevant to business processes. The sources for enrichment can be internal (from different departments of the company) or external (e.g. from data providers). Here are some steps and considerations to keep in mind when enriching master data with additional information from the company:
Integrate external service providersVideosStandardizationFlexible working, regardless of location The workplace of engineers and purchasers has long since ceased to be limited to their own office. The trend is toward decentralized working. Mobility and location-independent access to all project-related information are indispensable. Access to project data from anywhere and regardless of the end device is therefore a prerequisite for smooth project execution.
Extension of currently not yet existing manufacturer catalogs with crawling and other import proceduresVideosCatalogs & Standards & Company PartsCrawling manufacturer catalogs with 3D CAD models requires specialized techniques and tools, especially if you plan to make regular updates or collect large amounts of data. However, there are several important points to consider before starting a crawling project:
Sustainability data based on Eclass AdvancedVideosRequestSustainability data plays a crucial role in engineering for a number of reasons: the Sustainability Act regulates CO2-neutral operations, and this naturally requires environmental information from manufacturer data. Overall, sustainability data on PURCHINEERING 3Dfindit can help engineers improve their products and processes, stay competitive, and do their part to solve global environmental problems.
Prices VideosRequestPrices and price developments play an important role in engineering for various reasons:
Export and preview of the augmented reality (AR) formatVideos3D PreviewAugmented reality (AR) can be useful in many areas of engineering by helping to make processes more efficient and better visualized. Here are some examples of how AR can be used in engineering:
