February 22 (Wednesday) 13:00 - [5-Axis and Multi-Processing Seminar & Factory Tour for Business Owners]

From design to manufacturing. How to transform "monozukuri" with seamless data integration.

The manufacturing industry in New Japan has not been able to achieve true "productivity improvement" for decades. Additionally, it has not been able to solve issues such as "early development of human resources" and "skill inheritance." We believe that if things continue this way, not only will we be unable to compete with the world, but we will also be left behind. Even with the introduction of 3D CAD and CAM, which should enable "productivity improvement," why is there no change? We would like to share our thoughts at Kodama on the problems faced by Japan's manufacturing industry and how we should confront these issues. For over 30 years, we at Kodama have been supporting our customers as a CAD/CAM vendor to help them achieve optimal factory management. We have also introduced 5-axis and multi-tasking machines and have been operating a prototype factory for 10 years. From this experience, we discuss how everyone can maximize the use of CAD/CAM to create a new manufacturing system that is profitable and free from rework.

Achieving a seamless process from design to construction drawing creation! Also compatible with large-scale assemblies.

In the construction industry, tools such as CAD and CG systems have become widespread to improve the efficiency of individual tasks. However, many companies have not implemented systems to comprehensively streamline the entire process from planning and design to the creation of construction drawings. The TopSolid series is a system developed to solve the problems faced in manufacturing and to comprehensively enhance the efficiency of the entire workflow. TopSolid’Design 7 is a BIM-compatible 3D design support system that allows designers to handle the entire process from planning and design to the creation of construction drawings without division of labor. Additionally, by unifying the entire workflow of a project into "one engineering database," collaborative tasks can be carried out seamlessly and efficiently. *We also offer a "CAD Seminar for the Construction, Equipment, and Plant Industry" for designers.
