ARMONICOS CO., LTD. Product Lineup

Do you have any concerns such as "I want to solve problems with a new method that has never been seen before," "I don't have enough manpower or resources and want to shorten design time," or "I want to add value to my company's products and services"? At our company, we not only develop systems from scratch but also engage in various forms of contract development. After thorough hearings, we leverage our achievements and experience gained from various projects, not limited to the manufacturing industry, to derive solutions tailored to each customer. 【Features】 ■ Consulting power based on years of experience ■ Achieving problem-solving results in a short period by utilizing accumulated technological assets ■ Solving industry-specific challenges for each customer with know-how gained from involvement in a wide range of industries ■ Achieving high-quality processing of 3D data in a short time *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 contract development. The business of the customer for whom this system was built had characteristics such as "the main products handled are small pressed parts," "there are a very large number of item numbers, and a wide variety of product shapes for pressing," and "there is a need to accommodate production of many varieties and variations." Therefore, we developed an automatic design system for press molds that utilizes 3D data in a seamless process from design to processing. By using 3D data to automatically output manufacturing information, we reduced the design man-hours to one-tenth of the conventional amount. [Overview] ■Challenges - Focus on small pressed parts - A wide variety of shape variations - Need to accommodate production of many varieties and variations ■Results - The mold design process was innovated, achieving significant reductions in man-hours - The design man-hours for molds were reduced to about one-tenth of the conventional amount - Human errors were eliminated, and rework was no longer necessary *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.

We would like to introduce a case where we undertook contract development. 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.

This document introduces "The Introduction and Effects of a Dedicated Press Die Design System." It provides detailed information over 15 pages, covering topics such as the press die design system, key points from the design process perspective, the ideal state of the design process, and the effects of the in-house system. Please use this as a reference for system implementation. 【Contents (partial)】 ■ What is a press die design system… ■ Background ■ Goals: Results of process organization… ■ Key points from the design process ■ The ideal state of the design process, etc. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

While 3D design is becoming more widespread, the demand for "2D drawings" for purposes such as inspection, manufacturing sites, and contracts remains high. The enormous amount of labor required for dimensioning is a burden for designers. Our 3D shape processing technology will address the inadequacies of general-purpose CAD's automatic dimensioning functions, such as "in-house unique dimension arrangement rules" and "selection of necessary points." We will develop a system that automates everything from basic dimensions like outer dimensions, shapes, and hole spacing to the output of complex processing information (types of holes, depths, etc.) referenced from feature information. We can also provide this in the form of add-ins tailored to your CAD software, such as Autodesk Inventor or AutoCAD. 【Usage Scenarios】 - Automation of routine dimensioning tasks when expanding from 3D models to 2D drawings - Bulk creation of inspection dimensions after reading DXF data - Automatic execution of dimension arrangement and alignment based on unique drawing standards (JIS, in-house standards, etc.) 【Implementation Benefits】 - Automating simple dimensioning tasks creates an environment where designers can focus their time on essential design work - Prevents omissions and transcription errors in dimensioning, improving the consistency and reliability of drawings - Logic-based encapsulation of the drawing know-how of experienced designers enables anyone to create high-quality drawings.

"Although we have captured point clouds with a 3D scanner, we are struggling with the analysis and quantification beyond that." … Do you have such challenges? At Armonicos, we are making efforts to extract and approximate shapes with specific meanings from point cloud data using the "mathematical treatment of geometric shapes" technology that we have cultivated over many years in CAD/CAM development. For example, we are advancing research and validation of analysis algorithms that automatically derive centerlines from vast tunnel point clouds or fit clothoid curves to road curves. We flexibly support individual needs such as "Can we perform this calculation?" or "I want to automatically extract cross-sections from this data" through technical feedback and prototype development. 【Usage Scenarios】 - Automatic extraction tests of "centerlines" and "cross-sections" from tunnel point clouds - Validation of linear approximations such as clothoid curves for road point clouds - Consideration of automation and efficiency improvements for 3D data processing currently done manually 【Implementation Effects】 - Preventing "just capturing" point cloud data and obtaining numerical values useful for design and maintenance management - Establishing an analysis method without human variability through a mathematical approach - Early determination of the technical feasibility of new 3D data utilization ideas through PoC and other means.

Developing a dedicated system from scratch incurs a tremendous amount of labor for specification changes after operation, and there is a risk of having no escape route in case of insufficient functionality. At Armonicos, we recommend "customization and add-on development" that adds unique features to general-purpose 3D CAD (such as NX), achieving flexible automation. ■ Challenges - Fully scratch-built automation systems are expensive and difficult to modify after implementation. - The system cannot keep up with changes in the company's design rules. ■ Solutions and Results - By basing the development on existing high-functionality CAD, we can reduce development costs compared to dedicated systems. - We build flexible automation features (add-ons) tailored to on-site operations while leveraging standard functionalities.
