3DCS
Optimally manage product quality with the best-in-class solution for tolerance simulation
The 3DCS software suite enables simulation-based quality analysis, thereby reducing resource consumption and costs in manufacturing. With 3DCS, you can integrate a digital quality twin into the product development process by transforming the 3D CAD model into a virtual prototype. To do this, the nominal CAD model is enriched with measurement and production planning data, as well as the planned tolerances (typically tolerances). The goal is to identify dependencies and control levers.
Your benefit: Accelerated development and the early elimination of costly sources of error.
Advantages of the 3DCS tolerance analysis software
How can the 3DCS quality analysis software benefit your company?
Quality is a key success factor—with 3DCS, you can manage it efficiently and comprehensively. Your digital quality twin makes the real-world relationships transparent across the board and visible to everyone. The simulation-based variance analysis provides you with important insights that allow you to identify the strengths and weaknesses of a design and its tolerances, and to use this information to develop cost-effective quality strategies.
In addition, the 3DCS analysis software enables you to identify dependencies early on and correct them in a targeted manner as needed. This optimization of the development process reduces the amount of rework required and the scrap rate, thereby significantly lowering the total cost of product development.
Manufacturing also becomes more cost-effective, as the virtual prototype can be tested in the simulation, thereby reducing the costs of tools and fixtures required for a real-world test environment. You can also make manufacturing processes more effective and safer by analyzing various process variations.
With 3DCS Tolerance Analysis, you can digitize all aspects of product quality end-to-end – taking the next step toward digital transformation in product development.
