Assessment of assembly in the design phase

Challenge

Assembly control already in the design phase

In collaboration with Bricsys, Flanders Make developed a “design for assembly” inspection tool. This makes it possible to check whether a product is suitable for production during the CAD design phase, for example by checking whether the assembly steps are logical and whether an operator can easily access the attachment points.

Technologies

From expensive prototypes to virtual validation

Traditionally, assembly problems are only discovered during the prototype phase, which is time-consuming and costly. The integrated Assembly Inspect tool in BricsCAD® Mechanical CAD software often eliminates the need for physical test setups.

Manufacturing, Mechanical Components and Systems

Optimising mechanical components and systems, their performance, sustainability and manufacturing process.

Result

Accessible to more companies

This tool allows small and medium-sized manufacturing companies to benefit from advanced design analysis without expensive specialised software. This speeds up the design process and reduces the number of design cycles.
