Fishbowl Solutions Releases CAD Verification Technology At PTC/USER World Event 2005
CAD VerifierTM enables organizations to better leverage their 3D CAD databases by automating the verification of their 3D CAD databases.
Minneapolis — June, 7 2005 — Fishbowl Solutions announces the release of CAD VerifierTM, a patent-pending technology solution that enables users of 3D CAD software to systematically and automatically verify the integrity of their 3D CAD databases
Today’s organizations are looking to compete on Time to Market, Cost, Quality or Innovation, however, even though companies may be leveraging powerful 3D CAD and PDM/PLM systems, users can still struggle with the usability and re-usability of their engineering data. This is because of the inherent nature of associative solid modeling where relationships can often break as changes occur.
The time end users can spend cleaning up “bad” data is rarely measured and usually unnoticed by management. The impact is significant and results in reduced productivity and slow turn around times. (e.g. one company had 1 in 5 of their assemblies with significant problems.)
CAD VerifierTM addresses this by providing an automated, systematic patent-pending process of verifying the ongoing integrity of your 3D CAD Database(s) and sending notification of errors resulting from CAD modeling.
Key Benefits:
Improved user productivity and reduced time to market by improving the quality of your 3D CAD database through patent-pending technology.
Maintain a robust database for downstream applications like Viewing (i.e. ProductView), manufacturing, assembly instruction applications, etc. other 3rd party applications that need to pull up models for use.
“CAD VerifierTM is a revolutionary technology for us. Every organization that utilizes 3D CAD has struggled with the issue of database integrity and we are excited about the opportunity to help companies unleash the power of their 3D CAD software”, stated Tim Gruidl, President of Fishbowl Solutions. “One of our clients need to add a note to a top level assembly drawing that the project manager thought would take 15 minutes but it ended up taking 6 days when the user needed to clean up all of the broken sub assemblies. This is not cost or time effective.”
“A successful PLM implementation can deliver a lot of value, but a key foundation is robust, accurate data. CAD VerifierTM provides an automated means for organizations to assess the quality of their database and systematically clean it so they can keep the PLM initiative on schedule”, stated Rick Passolt, of Fishbowl Solutions.
