SolidXperts Innover à la puissance 3D


3DPartFinder on SolidWorks

 
The advanced geometry-based search capability of 3DPartFinder accurately identifies similar parts and duplicates.  Its unique advanced geometry-based search capability enables part re-use.
 
 
 

The key to skyrocketing savings!

 
In order to identify parts already in your database that are similar to what you are looking for, you can launch 3DPartFinder and use a 3D CAD file to find all similar parts.  Also, with just a few clicks of your mouse, you can create a 3D sketch of your part and launch 3DPartFinder.   Within seconds, 3DPartFinder will have uncovered all the similar 3D CAD files in a SolidWorks assembly.
 

3 good reasons to use 3DPartFinder now

 
  1. Knowledge re-use in core engineering
  2. Increase engineering productivity.  With fewer new designs, you can allow more time to optimize the newly created.
  3. Minimize time and expenses. associated with designing or purchasing duplicate parts.
3DPartFinder Signature Database  

 

How does it work?

3DPartFinder uses geometric CAD data for its search rather than alphanumeric characters.  It can search a database with millions of parts and identify duplicate and/or similar geometry in seconds without the need for manual part pre-classification.

One of the key aspects of the semantics is the “signature” of the 3D model.  The signature of a 3D model is a small file (about 15K) created from its shape analysis.  This signature is not a compressed version of the CAD model.  In fact, it is a mathematical representation of the 3D shape that is irreversible, encrypted and therefore protects the intellectual property of its owner.
