3DPartFinder Enterprise solves the issues to locate 3D models!
If you have reviewed the 3DPartFiner solution earlier, you know that 3DSemantix has invented 3DPartFinder geometric search to compensate for the weaknesses of Text-based search, regardless of the underlying technology. You also discovered that 3DPartFinder has been integrated in the leading CAD systems of the industry for the benefits of the end users. Finally, you know that even when you don’t have a CAD system, you can leverage 3DPartFinder geometric search engine to help you in your day-to-day activities.
With 3DPartFinder Enterprise, you get everything 3DPartFinder does, plus the capability to locate all kinds of information and data coming from different systems such as the PLM, ERP, MES or even an Excel file! Let’s see why.
In Manufacturing, everything you do is related to a part’s geometry!
Almost everything you do in a Manufacturing is related to a part’s geometry. Think about it. All these parts and assemblies begin their journey by someone who creates a first rough 3D model. Each designer triggers a value chain that won’t stop until the first part is in inventory.
Throughout this process, stakeholders will search for data to help them do their job. Someone will create a quality inspection sheet, another will put manufacturing tolerances, someone else will create a part number in the ERP, the buyer will prepare a quoting package to seek quotation from suppliers etc. These stakeholders will create new data specific to this new part. All these data are stored, classified, managed in systems like PLM, ERP, MES and frequently Excel files.
If we agree that two parts that are similar in shape share the same function, then we can see the immediate interest to find similar parts. If I find a similar part I might decide to reuse it as is or I might inspire my new design by leveraging the best practices embedded in the existing design.
If I am a Manufacturing engineer, I might reuse a manufacturing process coming from a similar part. I might find out that this part can be machined or 3DPrinted. I might be able to estimate rapidly the cost to produce it because I have the cost of similar parts to relate to. If I am involved in manufacturing, I might reuse a CNC program from a similar part I found. If I am at purchasing, I will find current suppliers for similar parts and ask them a quotation because they have experience with this type of design.
This is why we created 3DPartFinder Enterprise!
3DPartFinder is the best geometric search engine for CAD users!
3DPartFinder delivers the highest search accuracy of the industry. We use the APIs of CAD system software editor to index your 3D models. When 3DPartFinder identifies duplicate parts, they truly are duplicates. Thanks to the integration of 3DPartFinder with your CAD system, you can launch a search from any part opened in your CAD system or any part selected in an assembly opened in your CAD system. No need to leave your software!
Search results are displayed in your CAD systems. Thumbnails of 3D models are insufficient for a designer to analyze and select the best candidate part found. With 3DPartFinder there is no need to upload the candidate parts one at a time in your CAD system to analyze them. 3DPartFinder opens automatically in your CAD system a copy of the original files found and ranked them by similarity to your reference 3D model. Duplicate parts appear in the first row in yellow color. Moreover, your team does not need to learn a new 3D software to analyze the candidate parts and pick the most appropriate for its use case. Simply use the functions of your CAD system like you do every day!
3DPartFinder is available for the following CAD Systems
