In mechanical device design, business reform utilizing 3D data has been advocated for over 10 years. However, there are often voices expressing that even with the introduction of 3D CAD, the effects are not realized, and that 3D design itself is not being adequately performed. To achieve results with 3D CAD, it is essential to implement a 3D CAD system that is suitable for the mechanical design process. Fujitsu's design and manufacturing support iCAD SX is a domestically developed 3D CAD specifically designed to support manufacturing in Japan. iCAD achieves high-speed response capable of handling 3 million parts in 0.2 seconds, allowing for stress-free design consideration and verification of entire devices comprising tens of thousands of components. Moreover, during the conceptual phase where various ideas are materialized and trial and error occurs, users can create 3D models without being constrained by history or constraints, much like sketching a rough drawing. The created models can be freely edited later and gradually detailed, enabling 3D design to be realized through the same design process as 2D design.

In the design of press machines, it is essential to efficiently carry out work processing and transportation to each stage. Therefore, it is important to deepen the consideration of "movement" in addition to the structure and configuration of the press machine from the conceptual design stage. However, when progressing with design in 3D CAD, the following problems arise, and it is often reported that the consideration of "movement" is abandoned: - The 3D model becomes heavy, making it difficult to apply movement. - It takes time to convert for simulation. The cause of this is that data becomes heavy due to the history and constraints of general 3D CAD. With iCAD SX, the examination of the device's operation and the confirmation of related interferences can be performed with a single tool. This feature, along with ultra-fast response, allows for the design to progress while experimenting with the device's movements. Furthermore, based on the set movements and the ladder program created by the control designer, the verification of the control program can be conducted on the 3D CAD. By integrating mechanics and control, it is possible to shorten development lead times and improve design quality. ▶ Click on the special site and download the <Case Studies> now! 　　↓↓↓

In plant design, it is necessary to consider the space for piping routes, workability, and maintainability based on the customer's industry, factory layout, and other factors. Therefore, a unique and short-term design is required. To meet the high demands of customers, it is important to conduct preliminary verification of the entire plant, including surrounding equipment and work areas, rather than just focusing on the piping alone. This helps to reduce rework that may occur during the on-site startup. iCAD SX achieves high-speed response, handling 3 million parts in 0.2 seconds. Not only can you manage mechanical equipment, but you can also handle the entire factory, including plant piping, on 3D CAD without stress.

It is said that the demand for automotive painting is stagnating due to the proliferation of vehicles equipped with preventive safety technologies. To survive in a changing market, it is necessary to aim for improvements in design quality more than ever before. More companies are adopting 3D CAD to enhance quality, but there are often concerns about the increased man-hours associated with using 3D CAD. Two main reasons for the increase in man-hours when using 3D CAD are as follows: - 3D models are created after completing 2D designs. - Detailed 3D models are developed before specifications are finalized, leading to a significant burden when specifications change. These issues arise from the constraints of typical 3D CAD systems, such as history and constraints, which make it difficult to represent ambiguous states in three dimensions. With iCAD SX, you can create 3D models without being constrained by history or conditions, allowing you to work with a sense similar to sketching. Additionally, the created models can be freely edited later and gradually detailed. Therefore, it is possible to achieve 3D quality with the same man-hours as 2D design. ▶ A special site is currently showcasing limited case studies! ↓↓↓
