Proposal for Utilizing CAD: To Keep Up with i-Construction

The construction and civil engineering industry faces stricter laws and intense market competition! Innovation grounded in reality!

Since 2016, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism has been promoting "i-Construction" as an initiative to improve productivity across the entire construction production system and aim for attractive construction sites. It is undeniable that 2D drawings are still the mainstream in architecture, especially on-site. However, with the rapid advancement of 3D data utilization, such as BIM modeling, there are increasing cases where traditional CAD cannot keep up. With 'BricsCAD', it is possible to advance the 3D conversion of designs based on general 2D design data without straining costs. Furthermore, using 3D data as a core, you can step up to cutting-edge industry initiatives such as BIM and VR. [Points for Extended Use of CAD Possible with BricsCAD] ■ High compatibility with AutoCAD ■ Conversion to JW and SXF ■ Support for point cloud data and rendering ■ Easy to start with BIM *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.

Utilizing 3D features effectively to address challenges such as "efficiency in design work" and "shortage of personnel" required in the field of mechanical design! Introducing case studies of BricsCAD implementation.

Lecture Theme: The Recommendation of Various Relaxed 3D Genre: Mechanical Design Speaker: Masayuki Koma, Research and Development Department, Oshikiri Co., Ltd. In the field of mechanical design, 3D is being sought as a solution to challenges such as improving design efficiency and addressing labor shortages. On the other hand, many companies find it difficult to take the step towards adopting 3D CAD due to factors such as the need to move away from traditional 2D CAD operations and cost considerations. Oshikiri Co., Ltd. has implemented BricsCAD and is effectively utilizing its 3D features to address these challenges. We will introduce how they are achieving this during the presentation. Oshikiri's lecture is scheduled to be publicly available around 15:40 on November 24 (Thursday). The public release time is an estimate and may change depending on the progress of the event on the day. *Currently, an archived broadcast is available.

As the number of CAD users increases, the burden of licensing costs and the expenses associated with 3D CAD in the efforts to transition to 3D, as well as the need for business efficiency.

We have introduced BricsCAD Pro to Takamiya Co., Ltd., which is engaged in the manufacturing, sales, and rental of temporary scaffolding. Originally, we used a major 2D CAD software in Japan, but in recent years, as the volume of design work increased, our staff also grew. A few years ago, the licensing model for the same software switched to an annual contract, resulting in significant costs each year, which became a challenge. The technical department verified compatibility and usability with the free trial version and determined that there were no issues. Considering the utilization of 3D functions, we decided to implement the 2D-3D design .dwg compatible 'BricsCAD Pro'. In addition to reducing the burden of licensing costs compared to conventional CAD software, we achieved operational efficiency by utilizing customization features. [Challenges Before Implementation] ■ Licensing costs became a challenge as the number of CAD users increased. ■ The cost burden of 3D CAD was also a hurdle in our efforts to transition to 3D. ■ We wanted to reduce the workload of our in-house engineers. *For more details, please refer to the related catalog "BricsCAD Implementation Case Studies."

● The production time for casting prototypes can be shortened! Since model making is not required, the production time for prototypes, which previously took about a month, can be significantly reduced. ● Model costs can be reduced! By directly creating sand molds from 3D data, there is no need for model production costs. If changes to the model are necessary, they can be addressed by modifying the 3D data. ● Similar products with different shapes and dimensions can be prototyped simultaneously! Different products, such as similar shapes or variations in dimensions, can be created in a single molding process. This allows for the verification of multiple types in a short period.

The "Mechanical Stitching Method" by Nichinichisui Road Machinery Co., Ltd. is a new technique that allows for the repair of metal cracks without the application of heat. By using special bolts and reinforcement plates, cracks are physically removed, and repairs are made without affecting the base material with heat. Repairs can be carried out 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. ◎ If a detailed technical explanation is needed, please contact us.
