Assessment of the manufacturability of CAD designs

Challenge

First time right designs

Errors in product designs lead to expensive prototypes and additional design cycles. Flanders Make has developed software that checks CAD designs for manufacturability in a matter of seconds, so that limitations can be identified at the design stage.

Technologies

Smart machining evaluation

The tool automatically detects relevant zones, checks production limitations and visualises the results for the designer. This makes technical production knowledge directly accessible, without dependence on experienced assessors.

Manufacturing, Mechanical Components and Systems

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

Result

Fewer cycles, fewer errors, greater speed

Reynaers Aluminium uses the technology to assess aluminium profiles. This significantly shortens the design cycle, prevents errors and delivers immediate cost savings.
