A good REUSE strategy starts with the design team. After all, they are the one who decides if a new part will be created!

 

We have created a solution that does not add work to the team but on the contrary, enable them to locate quickly candidate part for their new design. 3DPartFinder is launched directly from the CAD system and the results are displayed in their CAD system as well. The 3D models are ranked by similarity to the reference part and loaded in an assembly for immediate analysis.

 

3DPartFinder as been integrated in Dassault Systèmes CATIA and SOLIDWORKS, Siemens PLM NX and Solid Edge, PTC Creo and ProE, and Autodesk Inventor for your convenience.

You don’t need a PLM or a PDM System to take advantage of 3DPartFinder. You can install 3DPartFinder out of the box and simply direct it to the repository where you store your 3D files.

 

If you do have a PLM/PDM system be aware that there are no technical limitation to index your data stored in these systems. 3DPartFinder already interface PLM systems such as Enovia from Dassault Systèmes, TeamCenter from Siemens PLM, Agile PLM from Oracle, EPDM from SolidWorks or the Autodesk Vault.

You need to consolidate PLM Vaults, install a PDM or a PLM from a file base server, migrate files to a PLM?

 

We could help you find Duplicates or Similar files and pin point you in the right direction using 3DPartFinder Analytics.
