3DPartFinder
3DPartFinder Geometric search engine has been invented to compensate for the inability of Text-based search to locate existing parts for reuse. 3DPartFinder uses the part’s geometry to search; no file name and no keywords are required. When you combine 3DPartFinder with 3DPartFinder Part Proliferation Monitoring, you get full control on part creation. No more duplicate and near-duplicate parts created.
3DPartFinder Enterprise
3DPartFinder Enterprise fuse data with geometry to deliver all the information needed by the end user to accomplish his tasks. For instance, a designer can find similar parts and view if the company maintains inventory on these part numbers, what are their unit cost, material, manufacturing processes etc. Any data field indexed can become a filter to perform combined searches. For example, do we have similar parts in aluminum 6061 with a cost lower than 40$? A buyer can launch 3DPartFinder to get the list of experienced Part Manufacturers on similar parts and send them a RFQ for the new part.
3DPartFinder Analytics
3DPartFinder Analytics has been created to perform complete and automatic analysis of a 3D model database. 3DPartFinder Analytics also has the capability to compare two datasets. For instance, it will compare all the parts coming from an aircraft with those of another aircraft to identify duplicates and nearby duplicates between them. This solution is often used with project targeting to reduce the number of items in inventory and/or to assist teams responsible to create standard parts for the company.
3DPartFinder Part Proliferation Monitoring
To help teams measure themselves against their goal of eliminating unnecessary parts, we created 3DPartFinder Part Proliferation Monitoring. At the end of the day, 3DPartFinder Part Proliferation Monitoring will analyze your database and report any new duplicate or near-duplicate parts created in the last 24 hours. In the morning your team can learn if any unnecessary part has been created and decide to remove those parts if adequate. When you combine 3DPartFinder with 3DPartFinder Part Proliferation Monitoring, your team gets full control on part creation. No more Duplicate and Near-duplicate parts created!
3DPartFinder search for Assemblies
Users of 3DPartFinder and 3DPartFinder Enterprise now have the option to perform assembly search the same way they do with parts. The Assembly search of 3DPartFinder is coupled with your PDM/PLM to allow for a streamlined workflow of search for your assemblies. You can now search and reuse complete assemblies and sub-assemblies and cut both the development cycle and the cost of good sold.
