[Case Study of 3D CAD Software for Mechanical Design] Aichi Machine Industry Co., Ltd.
COLMINA Design and Manufacturing Support iCAD SX
[Free Case Study Provided] A case where it was introduced as a CAD suitable for production equipment design and strong in data compatibility!
We would like to introduce a case study of the implementation of "iCAD SX" at Aichi Machine Industry Co., Ltd., which is responsible for the manufacturing of small automobiles and automotive engines and transmissions. The company had been using 2D CAD for many years, but following the introduction of high-end CAD in the development department, it was decided to also implement 3D CAD in the manufacturing equipment department. By efficiently combining design reviews and layout considerations using 3D, along with 2D design, they have achieved improved design productivity. [Case Overview] ■ Background of Implementation - Decided to introduce 3D CAD to strengthen collaboration with the development department. ■ Results - Demonstrated excellent compatibility with CAD for automotive design, allowing for quick initiation of equipment design. - Enabled jig design that considers space in 3D, such as avoiding tools entering from two diagonal directions in the machining center, contributing to internal design reviews. - Rich drafting functions reduced the number of touches by 20% compared to conventional 2D CAD. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

basic information
iCAD Corporation's "COLMINA Design and Manufacturing Support iCAD SX" is a purely domestic 3D CAD specifically designed for machinery and equipment design. It continues to pursue a commitment to being "light" and "fast" through its unique CAD kernel technology, achieving overwhelming high-speed processing performance. In the design of large-scale machinery and entire production equipment lines, it can handle vast amounts of design information in 3D data with ease. The accumulated extensive "manufacturing information" can be utilized not only in design but also in manufacturing and maintenance services, contributing to the reduction of development lead times. It is adopted by many domestic companies and offers robust support unique to domestic development.

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.
