"The simple collision detections show immediately which changes still have to be incorporated so that components can be used in as many variants as possible."
“CADEX’s technical support director has extensive practical experience and can offer us suggestions on all kinds of parameter setting and jig fine-tuning. All we need to do is tell him what needs to be sped up and what can be slowed down; then after a thorough discussion, we make some parameter adjustments and we get the shortest manufacturing cycle, as simple as that.”
"Neither we nor our engineering partners have ever lacked functions – we have never had to look for a different solution."
"Teamcenter and Solid Edge from Siemens Digital Industries Software integrate seamlessly, supporting a single data source and effectively guaranteeing data accuracy."
"We imported 677 files over a five-month period and achieved a 99 percent translation success rate."
"With Solid Edge 3D design software, we can import a solid model and quickly con- struct the necessary tooling around it."
"I am not particularly worried if corporate requires us to change the system since we have very clear and strong data management, adaption and transformation capabilities with the help of the integrated Solid Edge and SAP solution."
"Due to the direct access to PLM information on the shop floor, our machines’ idle times are significantly reduced, and our colleagues are able to effectively minimize variation in quality and manufacturing errors."
"The software we used before only worked with two dimensions, so when we would go to the plant to set up the assembly processes, things would not always fit."
"NX CAM is unique in that it allows NC programmers to try different approaches before selecting the best method to machine even the most challenging designs. Programming complex parts is no longer a tedious process. The software provides many advanced options that give the engineers the necessary flexibility to quickly create safe 5-axis operations."
“When our engineers tested two methods for the same work piece, the time difference could be up to 20 minutes, so if we make 1,000 pieces a year, the difference would be 20,000 minutes. And that’s only for one part. The enhanced machining efficiency using innovative methods has increased our production capacity remarkably.”
"The greatest thing is, with race car stuff, someone always wants better, faster, lighter. It allows me to be creative and come up with something new."
“2D CAD design methods not only lack the capabilities for serious design, but are also unable to verify complex product designs. To ensure the accuracy of the products we develop, the designers generally needed to spend significant time in reviewing the drawings, which not only prolongs the design cycle but also results in a high rate of error in the drawings. This also meant an inability to ensure the quality, thus a high defect rate. Such manually-driven operations made it difficult to thoroughly check the drawings.”
“Customers now have access to an expanded variety of products and their requirements for these products are continuously mounting. In particular, as hydraulic equipment is used in the key processes of iron and steel work development, customers’ product specifications and the demand for better quality continue to grow. If customers’ requirements cannot be met, then no matter how favorable the pricing, they are not likely to buy.”
"We recently hired a young designer who learned the basics of our CAD system within a few days. Again the decision for Siemens Digital Industries Software and ISAP AG as implement-ation partner was shown to be absolutely right. This is the only way we can meet the high requirements of our customers and always deliver top quality and unique vehicles on time."
