Model Review/Creation

Geometry can be pulled straight from the model. This minimises programming errors. Non-conformance of complex curvatures are also eradicated.

Order acceptance to production can be much quicker as data can be generated directly from the model and doesn't need to be manually created.

Missing dimensions can be found instantly, ensuring products are correct throughout production, especially when not at the final manufacturing stage.

Drawings can easily be misinterpreted. 3D models are unequivocal and common problems such as incorrect projection angles are eliminated.

Software functionality like this can show a visual comparison between a machining simulation and the finished model. This will show remaining stock and gouges, which can then be rectified before production has even commenced. 

As there is less programming required, the potential for cost savings is substantial. This also allows suppliers to estimate cycle times more accurately which helps with quotation, particularly for more intricate designs.
