To continue growing in the manufacturing industry where digitalization is accelerating, seamless operation of 2D/3D data is the key!

First, let's review the workflow! Select 2D/3D CAD tools suitable for the right tasks to save on licensing costs. *Trial version available.

There are various CAD programs available in the market, ranging from 2D to 3D, and from low-end to high-end, with a wide range of price points and specifications. Our 'BricsCAD' is a CAD that excels in compatibility with the 2D format DWG, which is widely used in the manufacturing industry. In addition to intermediate files commonly used in manufacturing, such as STEP and Parasolid, it also supports reading and writing native data formats from various brands of 3D CAD. As 3D design spreads in the manufacturing industry, which is accelerating its digitalization, there are also areas where 2D design must adapt. In the future, seamlessly handling 2D/3D data will be key to optimizing workflows. **Points for Seamless 2D/3D Operations with BricsCAD** - Support for file formats prevalent in the manufacturing industry - User-friendly direct modeling features - Capability for BIM expansion - Affordable perpetual licenses that cover 2D, 3D, and BIM - Comprehensive Japanese language support for users *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.*

2D CAD software for designing production lines and equipment. Adopting CAD software that bridges 2D and 3D for outstanding mass production line design in car manufacturing.

At Mazda Corporation, we have been using CAD software with high market share and free CAD software, but both had challenges, and we were looking for a product to transition to. As a 2D CAD software for designing production lines and equipment, we introduced 'BricsCAD', which we provide. Utilizing a licensing system that can be used globally, it is also being utilized at overseas production sites. Additionally, by using "BricsCAD Communicator," we are streamlining the process of converting 3D part design data created with high-end CAD into 2D CAD. [Challenges Before Implementation] ■ A CAD software that is compatible with 3D, 2D, and architectural CAD is needed. ■ The cost of traditional paid software is high, leading to a shortage. ■ Free CAD software causes disruptions in business due to bugs and other issues. *For more details, please refer to the related catalog "BricsCAD Implementation Case Studies."

Contributing to the reduction of mistakes and losses in design operations, pursuing cost reduction and cost-effectiveness of existing electrical CAD, and utilizing design data for subsequent processes.

Introduction of the case study for the electrical and control design CAD system 'ACAD-DENKI' Mitsuba Electric Industry Co., Ltd. faced two major challenges: 1. Improving the quality of manufacturing drawings raised by the manufacturing department during the production design process. 2. Issues related to licensing costs. By introducing our developed and sold electrical design CAD 'ACAD-DENKI', they achieved a reduction in design man-hours and enabled data utilization for subsequent processes such as procurement and manufacturing. We have conducted multiple proof-of-concept experiments leveraging the 3D capabilities of the base CAD, BricsCAD, and are advancing further data integration.

What improvements in design operations can be achieved by introducing CAD for electrical design? We will answer such questions! Here’s an introduction using "ACAD-DENKI" as an example.

We will hold a webinar titled "Introduction to CAD for Electrical Design" to solve the problems faced by electrical designers. Dear electrical designers, "Checking drawings is done on paper. It takes time and is prone to errors..." "The way drawings are created varies by person in charge. There is a lack of consistency, which increases the effort needed for corrections..." "I manually extract parts. Ordering mistakes happen frequently..." Do you have any such challenges or concerns? This webinar will provide clear answers to the question, "What improvements in design operations can be achieved by introducing CAD for electrical design?" [Overview] ■ Date and Time: Please check this page for the next schedule. https://www.alfatech.jp/seminar/acad-denki_webinar.html ■ Method: Online via Zoom ■ Participation Fee: Free (Pre-registration required) ■ Capacity: 20 participants ■ Registration Deadline: Three days before the event date (Please note that registration may close before the deadline if capacity is reached) *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.

Hello everyone! We are Nikken Coating Industry Co., Ltd., a specialized manufacturer of contract processing for fluororesin coatings and PEEK coatings. Thank you very much for visiting our booth at the recent "Mechanical Elements Technology Exhibition." Thanks to you, we were able to conclude the event successfully. At the exhibition, we proposed surface treatment solutions for the "five challenges (release, sliding, corrosion resistance, impurity measures, and environmental response)" that arise in manufacturing sites. Were there any technologies that caught your interest? ■ We are currently responding to inquiries made at the venue We are sequentially contacting those who made technical inquiries or requests for prototypes at our booth on the day of the event. If you have requests such as "I would like you to look at additional drawings" or "I need a quote urgently," please feel free to let us know. ■ For those who could not attend the exhibition or missed our booth We also welcome inquiries from customers who could not come to the venue, such as "coating for special shapes that other companies have declined" or "switching from existing coatings." If you have any concerns regarding "surfaces," please feel free to consult or contact us.

The particle visualization technology developed under our brand "ViEST" has a very high level of detection sensitivity that allows for real-time visualization of the suspended and adhered states of micro and nano-sized particles. We are engaged in the sale of visualization systems and contract services for evaluation (investigating particles and airflow in production processes, manufacturing equipment, and factory environments, evaluating the performance of cleaning products, proposing yield improvement measures, etc.) both domestically and internationally. In manufacturing environments, invisible fine foreign substances, dust generation, particle adhesion due to static electricity, and airflow disturbances can lead to quality defects and reduced yield. Our company clarifies these contamination factors through visualization technology and provides consistent support from identifying the source of the problem to considering and confirming improvement measures. Do you have any of the following concerns? - Unable to identify the cause of foreign matter contamination - Want to check airflow and cleanliness in clean rooms - Want to understand dust generation from manufacturing equipment and transport systems - Want to reduce particle adhesion to films and substrates - Want to improve contamination that causes yield reduction

Metal cracks are one of the concerns in equipment maintenance operations. Conventional welding repair methods can alter the base material around the crack due to heat, leading to residual stress and deformation, which always carries the risk of "crack recurrence" or "secondary damage." Hinode Water Supply Equipment Co., Ltd.'s "Mechanical Stitching Method" is a new technique that allows for metal crack repair without applying heat. By using special bolts and reinforcement plates, the crack is physically removed without affecting the base material with heat. Repairs can be made even in environments where open flames cannot be used. Since no heat is applied, the disassembly of equipment is minimized. For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.
