Empowering Design and Manufacturing by Extracting Intelligence from 3D Models Leveraging Geometry for Design Translation, Validation, Reuse and Collaboration By Robert Bean, PE EVP, Kubotek USA 9th NASA-ESA Workshop on Product Data Exchange
Market Problems • Variable proprietary formats • Only 30 percent of designers always receive CAD models from co-workers in their preferred format. • Only 6 percent of designers always receive models from other companies in their preferred format. 2. Poor Quality Models Missing geometry Poor trimming Malformed faces Gaps due to tolerances 3. Rigid Models
