IBUKI Inc., a mold development and manufacturing company, introduced CADdoctor to their engineering team to check the data quality, repair, and translate 3D CAD data provided by their customers. Time spent on repairing the CAD data for the engineers has been significantly reduced since the introduction of CADdoctor thus becoming an important tool for their efficient mold…
In Formula 1, the race begins long before the cars reach the starting grid. “The first race is at the factory—it’s a race backstage that nobody sees,” says Ian Goddard, Head of Technical Partnerships at Alpine F1 Team. And it quite literally is a race—a race against the clock as much as against competing teams.…
“If the data we receive meets our requirements, our designers can then solely focus on studying these designs without being interrupted by low-quality data. CADdoctor for NX has improved the quality of product data exchanged among Nissan and our suppliers and made it possible for data recipients to concentrate on design examination or evaluation.” –…
