[Case Study of 3D CAD Software for Mechanical Design] Shimizu Industrial Co., Ltd.
COLMINA Design and Manufacturing Support iCAD SX
[Free Case Study Provided] Introducing examples of how to achieve speed-up in mold mechanism design.
We would like to introduce a case study of Shimizu Industrial Co., Ltd., which has automotive molded parts and resin molds as its two main business pillars, implementing "iCAD SX." Due to the slow response of high-end CAD, the company was unable to perform smooth operations for medium to large molds. Because they emphasized parameter design, the customization of minor operation commands lacked flexibility and was prone to obsolescence, leading to a standardization that halted evolution. By transitioning the mold mechanism design to our product, the design man-hours were significantly reduced. With improved response, assembly became easier to handle, and the previously impossible comprehensive interference checks could now be performed efficiently. 【Case Overview】 ■Challenges - The slow response made it impossible to perform smooth operations for medium to large molds. - Customization of minor operation commands lacked flexibility and was prone to obsolescence. ■Results - Achieved smooth operations without hindering designers' trials. - Comprehensive interference checks could now be performed efficiently. ＼ Click below to download the case study PDF ／ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓

Company information
To support Japan's manufacturing, iCAD Corporation has developed the specialized 3D CAD software 'iCAD SX V8' focused on mechanical design. iCAD achieves high-speed response, handling 3 million parts in just 0.2 seconds, allowing for stress-free design consideration and verification of large-scale equipment and entire production lines that can consist of tens of thousands of components. By leveraging its ability to manage vast amounts of information, it is possible to accumulate and utilize the design information necessary for equipment development, including piping, wiring, and control (movement), all within a single CAD data set. This single data set can be used across various scenarios and departments, from design to manufacturing, assembly, and maintenance. This leads to a reduction in development lead time and an improvement in design quality.
