At "Nippon Steel & Sumitomo Metal Corporation Hiroshima Works," there were issues arising from changes in the design of large resin pellet manufacturing equipment (industrial machinery and plant facilities) that could not be covered by 2D planning drawings. The company decided to transition to 3D design with the aim of front-loading. After experiencing difficulties with a history-based 3D CAD that was not well established, they selected "iCAD SX," which does not suffer from slow response times even when handling tens of thousands of parts. As a result, they were able to enhance design reviews and disclose design information early using 3D models, leading to an advancement in the design workflow and cost reductions through the compactification of equipment. [Main Effects of Implementation] - Creation of overall planning drawings was halved (reduced from 2 months to less than 1 month) - Significant reduction in assembly interference and a 20% reduction in design support personnel - Cost reduction due to equipment compactification (e.g., 43% reduction in volume) [Download Materials] - Currently available for limited viewing on the special website.

We would like to introduce a case study of the implementation of "iCAD SX" at Nitto Koshin Co., Ltd., which is engaged in the design and manufacturing of labor-saving systems such as various inspections and high-speed counting machines. In response to requests from the design review (DR), assembly department, and customers who wanted to "confirm with a 3D image," we began full-scale operations in 3D design. By establishing the minimum necessary operational rules and customizing the operation menu, we steadily transitioned to 3D design using a small start approach. The thorough utilization of the 3D viewer has enabled manufacturing without assembly drawings. 【Case Overview (Partial)】 ■Challenges - Customer requests to "see 3D drawings" - The necessity within the internal design department to "identify issues before assembly" - Even with careful attention in 2D design, details such as interference were overlooked, leading to rework during the assembly process. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce a case study of the implementation of "iCAD SX" at Nidec Sankyo Corporation, which develops and manufactures electronic components and system equipment. The company frequently receives requests for 3D models from client companies, and in some cases of OEM product design, there is a regular exchange of drawing data with business partners, prompting them to consider the introduction of 3D CAD. After implementation, the significant advantage observed in the actual design environment was the 3D interference check, which allowed them to identify approximately 10 interferences in advance within a period of 1 to 2 months. Given the high demand for short delivery times, the improvement in design quality has been greatly appreciated. [Case Overview] ■ Challenges - The advancement of products had made 2D design insufficient. ■ Results - Approximately 10 interferences were identified in advance within a period of 1 to 2 months. - Design quality was significantly improved. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce a case study of Hitachi Zosen Corporation, which boasts high technical capabilities and achievements in social infrastructure facilities such as power generation, waste incineration, and water treatment, regarding the introduction of "iCAD SX." The company felt the limitations of high-end 3D CAD for piping and grating design and decided to trial our product. As a result of the introduction, the design workload for piping and grating was reduced by approximately 30%. A significant factor in this reduction was the shortened time for design review and modeling. 【Case Overview】 ■Challenges - Processing time of high-end 3D CAD was a bottleneck. ■Results - The speed of response led all design work into a positive cycle, resulting in about a 20% reduction in workload due to the automation of routine tasks. - Interference checks became easier, significantly reducing rework during the assembly stage. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce a case study of the implementation of "iCAD SX" at Tsubasa Corporation, which has successfully achieved the domestication of transmission and distribution iron towers and poles. The company adopted our product because it allowed for customization specialized in tower design. As a result of the implementation, solid models are now automatically created simply by inputting the specifications of the towers, and the design of the joints, which previously required advanced skills, has also been semi-automated. 【Case Overview】 ■ Reasons for Adoption - Customization specialized in tower design was possible. ■ Implementation Effects - The training period, which used to take 10 years, has been shortened to 1 year. - The design of step bolts for maintenance inspections can now be handled by CAD, allowing them to be used in conjunction with the main material's joint bolts at the tower's joint sections. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce a case study of the implementation of "iCAD SX" at Hagiwara Industries Co., Ltd., which is responsible for the development, manufacturing, and sales of slitters and winders. The company considered transitioning to 3D CAD for cost reduction and securing talent through 3D design. They adopted our product, which scored high points in categories such as "ability to quickly process data for one machine" and "excellent operability." As a result of the implementation, they reported an increase in the skill level of their engineers, a reduction in design time, and an improvement in the quality of presentations to customers. 【Case Overview】 ■ Reasons for Implementation - Cost reduction and talent acquisition through 3D design - Remarkable improvement in the performance of 3D CAD ■ Implementation Effects - The number of defects decreased by approximately 58% compared to the previous year, and the time required to address them was reduced by about 13%. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce a case study of the implementation of "iCAD SX" at Fujikoshi Machinery Industry Co., Ltd., a semiconductor manufacturing equipment manufacturer with strong capabilities. The company adopted 3D design to meet the increasingly sophisticated and complex needs of its customers. After the implementation, the ability to design three-dimensional shapes directly not only increased design speed but also allowed for the examination of component placement and interference from various angles—vertical, horizontal, and diagonal—resulting in a noticeable reduction in design errors and corrections. [Case Overview] ■ Reason for Implementation - To respond to the increasingly sophisticated and complex needs of customers ■ Results - Increased design speed due to the ability to design three-dimensional shapes directly - Achieved operational efficiency through paperless processes - Realized high added value for the entire business by deploying 3D design company-wide *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
