We received an inquiry from a customer who designs molds using commercially available 3D CAD, stating, "In order to request processing from external partners, it is necessary to create drawings for all mold components, but since there are 200 to 300 parts, a significant amount of labor is required for drawing creation." In response, we developed a system that automatically generates various dimensions for the unfolded drawings created in 3D CAD. To enable efficient adjustment of dimensions, we also prepared a separate tool for dimension editing. [Challenges] ■ A significant amount of labor was required for drawing creation. ■ We wanted designers to use their labor for other value-added tasks. ■ Rework occurred due to mistakes in entering dimension tolerances and omissions in dimension entries. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce a case where we undertook commissioned development. In this case, we faced challenges not only in responding to the chronic shortage of design man-hours due to the increase in the number of estimates but also in addressing the growing customer demands, such as "the large-scale and complexity of projects leading to large amounts of data," "the increase in design man-hours due to the large-scale and complexity of projects," and "the enhancement of assembly services." To provide assembly services while addressing the large-scale and complexity of projects, we examined systems aimed at optimizing the entire process and reducing the man-hours required for the entire process from design to manufacturing data creation. [Challenges] ■ Large-scale data due to the large-scale and complexity of projects ■ Increase in design man-hours due to the large-scale and complexity of projects ■ Enhancement of assembly services *Please feel free to contact us for more details.
