At Ballast Seven Co., Ltd., which specializes in the design of ship modifications, they conducted designs based on point clouds measured with a 3D laser scanner to accurately grasp the differences between the actual ship and the completed drawings. However, conventional 3D CAD systems could not handle point clouds, resulting in lengthy modeling times. To address this, they introduced "ClassNK-PEERLESS," which excels in automatic modeling of piping and steel materials. By simply selecting a portion of the point cloud, they could automatically generate piping and extend it to the appropriate diameter according to standards, significantly reducing modeling labor. As a result, they completed modeling for 300 shots in less than 80 hours, achieving a short delivery time of about three months from order to completion. Curved structures such as outer plates can now be easily created, and the improvement in model accuracy has proven effective in explaining to customers. The company is also looking to leverage this technology for expansion into land-based fields in the future. [Results of Implementation] - Significant reduction in labor hours due to automatic modeling functions for piping and steel materials. - Completion of modeling for 300 shots in less than 80 hours, achieving short-term engineering within three months. - Promotion of expansion into other industries such as plants by utilizing accumulated 3D modeling technology.

At Office K1 Co., Ltd., which is working on promoting DX for bridges, point cloud data is utilized to confirm the current state of existing bridges. To address structures like old bridges that do not have drawings, they have begun creating 2D drawings through modeling. However, conventional software struggled to balance accuracy and usability, and processing speed was also an issue. In response, they introduced "ClassNK-PEERLESS," which allows for easy operation and high-precision modeling. For the modeling of drainage system piping, they applied piping functions to steel members such as main girders and cross girders, creating an environment that can flexibly accommodate bridge structures. After the introduction, the time for a series of tasks from field measurement to modeling was significantly reduced from about one week to approximately 10 hours (per span). Additionally, they built an in-house simulator based on the simple models created with PEERLESS, allowing for pre-checking of scan positions and blind spots, further expanding the range of applications for point cloud data. 【Results of Implementation】 - The work time from field measurement to modeling was significantly reduced from about one week to 10 hours. - An in-house simulator was built based on simple models to pre-check scan positions and blind spots, expanding the scope of point cloud utilization.

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 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.

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.

When exchanging CAD data with business partners, it is important to pay attention to the differences in the types and versions of CAD being used. If you do not have the CAD that corresponds to the format of the data received from your partner, you will not be able to open the data as is. Furthermore, even if the format is compatible, inconsistencies may occur, such as surfaces being divided into finer segments when loaded. In such cases, it is necessary to use translator software to convert the data into a readable format or to correct (heal) inconsistencies within the CAD software. spGate is a powerful software that supports data conversion and correction between CAD software. It supports a wide range of formats as standard, so there is no need to purchase expensive additional options to accommodate multiple business partners. Additionally, enhanced healing features improve conversion quality and significantly reduce correction work. We have introduced examples of cases where spGate was implemented to solve data transfer challenges on the following page. Please take a look.

Nikken Lease Industry Co., Ltd., a leading company in the construction materials leasing and rental industry, aims to achieve high-quality construction in terms of safety, cost, and efficiency by providing comprehensive support for the entire process from "point cloud data acquisition → model creation → temporary planning → scaffolding work." Conventional BIM tools could not handle point cloud data, and existing software made it difficult to achieve the intended modeling, resulting in challenging workflows. Therefore, we introduced "ClassNK-PEERLESS," which allows for easy modeling of any subject and quick mastery of operations. By combining manual functions, we enabled detailed modeling even for complex structures, allowing for a level of detailed temporary planning that was previously deemed unattainable. This significantly enhanced customer satisfaction. Currently, we are handling point cloud processing with a small team, but we aim to build a specialized team that can manage this across our nationwide locations and standardize point cloud modeling. [Implementation Results] - Achieved detailed 3D modeling even for complex existing structures, improving the level of temporary planning. Enhanced visual effects as a pre-construction image!
