In the automotive industry, there is a demand for the rapid market introduction of new vehicles, which requires the development of automotive production equipment with short delivery times and high quality. Additionally, not only mechanical design but also PLC simulation of equipment and welding robot simulation are becoming more complex, leading to the use of simulators for pre-validation. However, general simulation software requires the conversion of 3D CAD data, necessitating the reconfiguration of mechanisms and IO information with each design change. This makes it difficult to conduct parallel considerations in line with design progress, and many customers may have given up on this approach. To solve this issue, it is important to achieve control debugging and robot simulation directly on the 3D CAD platform. iCAD SX offers ultra-fast response by processing 3 million parts in 0.2 seconds, allowing it to handle vast amounts of data, including the operation and control information of large-scale models, and enables control debugging and robot simulation directly on the 3D CAD. This facilitates an earlier start to control design, shortening the equipment development period and achieving front-loading. ▶ A special site is currently showcasing limited case studies! 　　 ↓↓↓

Are you having trouble with slow performance in 3DCAD? In large-scale machine design with a high number of parts, especially in the design of production equipment and machinery, we often hear the following concerns. 【Common Concerns】 ■ The CAD response is slow, making it difficult to focus on design work ■ Unable to design while considering the overall layout of the equipment ■ Due to heavy data, separate tools are used for machines, steel materials, piping, and wiring ■ Interference checks and motion verification for the entire equipment cannot be performed smoothly ■ Purchased a workstation for 3D CAD but cannot take it out All of these issues can be resolved. With the 3DCAD 'iCAD SX' for mechanical designers, we have achieved processing performance of 0.2 seconds for 3 million parts through the incorporation of our unique technology. We have successfully reduced the weight of 3D data to about 1/50 of its original size (compared to our company). Leveraging the overwhelming lightness of the data, we provide a design environment that allows for the accumulation and utilization of vast design information across mechanics, electrical, control, processing, and assembly. ＼＼ Free trial now available! ／／ Click on the [iCAD SX Free Trial Version] to be redirected to the download page. ↓

Currently, in the market for machine tools and processing machines, there is an increasing demand for high-quality products with short delivery times. Instead of repeatedly prototyping to ensure quality, it is important to identify and correct issues during the design phase to reduce rework. iCAD achieves high-speed response capable of handling 3 million parts in 0.2 seconds. Even with large machine tools, it can manage the entire assembly on 3D CAD, allowing for the accumulation and utilization of various information, including movement and electrical/control data. For example, confirming movements using device models and utilizing electrical circuit diagrams for automatic wiring routing make it possible to conduct considerations that were previously done on actual machines during the design phase. This prevents damage to actual machines due to dynamic interference and increases in man-hours due to on-site wiring path adjustments, enabling the production of high-quality machines with short delivery times. ＼ Customer case studies are exclusively available on the <Special Site>! ／ 　▶ Click on the Special Site and download now! 　　↓↓↓

In the packaging machine industry, there is always a demand to quickly launch new models into the market, and the design period is getting shorter year by year. Additionally, to achieve higher performance, the structure of the machines is becoming more complex, and the difficulty of design is also increasing. To address these challenges, it has become urgent to implement front-loading efforts aimed at identifying and resolving defects that emerge in later stages as early as possible during the design phase, thereby shortening development lead times. iCAD SX offers high-speed response capable of handling 3D CAD data with 3 million parts in just 0.2 seconds, allowing for smooth design discussions without delays in processing, even for complex packaging machines with a vast number of components. Furthermore, since assembly feasibility studies and operational verifications can be conducted for the entire system, it not only allows for early resolution of issues during startup but also facilitates smooth communication with customers and on-site personnel through specification meetings using 3D models, enabling efficient identification of requirements. iCAD enhances design quality in packaging machine design and reduces development lead times. ◎ Customer case studies are currently available for limited viewing on the <special site>! ▶ Click on the special site to download now! 　　↓↓↓

We would like to introduce a case study of business improvement using the 3D CAD specialized in mechanical design, "iCAD SX." At "Rohm Co., Ltd.," they have been internalizing semiconductor manufacturing equipment and have been working for many years to transition to 3D design in order to reduce interference and assembly issues. After careful consideration, they initially introduced a 3D CAD but abandoned its operation. They pointed out issues such as the difficulty in handling models due to strict rules when attempting team design, and that it took over 30 minutes to display files for 2,000 parts. Seeking "flexible team design" and "operability and speed akin to drawing with a pencil on paper," they selected "iCAD SX" and successfully improved business efficiency through 3D design. 【Main Effects of Implementation】 - Streamlining of upstream design processes and reduction of design development time - Activation of design reviews with related departments due to improved visibility of drawings - Interference suppression and reduction of man-hours through motion simulation of 6-axis robots 【Download Materials】 - Currently available for limited access on the special website.

We will introduce a case study of business improvement using the specialized 3D CAD "iCAD SX" for mechanical design. At Komatsu NTC Corporation, the design process of transfer machines was thoroughly analyzed, and it was identified that the dedicated design of some modules was a major cause of increased man-hours. (There were covers of both 1500mm and 1510mm.) In order to standardize and regulate the components that require dedicated design, the company decided to transition to 3D design and utilized "iCAD SX," which has lightweight data and easy modifications. In addition to successfully halving the lead time for module design, they have further reduced design man-hours by establishing an automatic drawing system for tooling diagrams. [Main Effects of Implementation] - By converting each part drawing to 3D and standardizing and regulating components, lead time was halved. - The 3D conversion of piping design reduced the total man-hours for piping design and manufacturing by nearly 30%.
