Global Edge Engineering Assistant
- Introducing Global Edge Engineering Assistant, an innovative and powerful tool that is designed to help increase engineering capacity by automating many of the engineering labor intensive tasks associated with quoting, engineering, and manufacturing workflow processes. This includes the following:
- Automated CAD Model Analysis
- Automated Routing Generation / Cost Rollups
- Automated Shop Floor Data Preparation / Bend Program Generation
- Automated Sales Quote Generation
Automated CAD Part Analysis
The Global Edge Engineering Assistant provides Automated CAD Part Analysis to provide complete CAD part parameters that can be utilized in the Quoting, Engineering and Manufacturing workflow process:
The following screen displays the CAD Part Parameters that are automatically calculated:
The "Print" option generates the following CAD Part Parameter Report including the automated generation of Optimal Shop Floor Routings based on comparing CAD Part Parameters with Machine Tool Parameters:
CAD Part Parameter Report
The following section includes the routing steps that were automatically generated based on CAD part parameters and matching machine tool parameters:
The following section includes the Manufacturability Test Results that are automatically generated by comparing CAD part parameters with matching Bend Processes:
The Global Edge Engineering Assistant generates the needed shop floor data required for Automated Bend Programming including necessary routing steps incorporated into DXF Flat Files with extended data that can be integrated Nesting and Scheduling software:
The Global Edge Engineering Assistant generates a CAD Part Import Report that includes CAD Part Parameters, Part Routing, and Manufacturability Testing results:
