Find with 3D Grid Search Example Pipe BendA 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 With the sketch function and some geometric values a search can be performed WITHOUT the presence of a geometric 3D object.
Find with the supplier country filter The specification and consideration of supplier countries can be important in the engineering or manufacturing industry for several reasons:
Find with a combination of search methodsWhen searching for 3D models and parts within ENTERPRISE 3Dfindit, combining different search methods can lead to more accurate and relevant results.
Find with an image/photo searchin photo search with a phone, also called "Reverse Image Search", allows users to use an image as a search query to find similar 3D CAD models - Digital Twins or relevant information about the image in ENTERPRISE 3Dfindit. Here is how it normally works:
Service for automatic eClass classification based on AIThe ADDON eClass Classifier can be used to provide eClass data to catalog parts that do not currently contain eClass information.
End Of Life "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.
Provision of master data in several international languagesThere 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 / PLMMaster 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 providersFlexible 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.
Sustainability data based on Eclass AdvancedSustainability 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.
Export and preview of the augmented reality (AR) formatAugmented 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:
