Because it is a production technology department, it can use 3DCAD skillfully
2023-05-15
The production technology department will first design the fixture and confirm the assembly sequence, etc. in the production preparation work, but in most cases, it starts after the design and production of the drawings. Since design information is conveyed through drawings, even if the design department uses 3DCAD for design, as long as the production technology does not use 3DCAD, the 3D model cannot be effectively used.
Production technology work that can be done by 3DCAD
① Fixture design
The design department provides 3D parts that can be placed in 3D space as fixture design standards, and the layout of dowel pins and studs can be directly designed. In addition, by sharing 3D data during the design process with designers, jigs can be designed simultaneously. If there is improvement related to the fixture, it can be immediately fed back to the designer, so it can be changed from "waiting" work to "aggressive" work.
② Assembly verification
Under normal circumstances, when discussing design and trial production, production technology will also participate and jointly confirm whether the fixture is functioning normally. However, it still needs to wait until the prototype parts are made. If 3DCAD is used, there is no need to wait for trial parts, and jigs can be verified using 3D models. You can also study the processing of workpieces, etc.
③ Verification accompanying design changes
If the design department changes the part shape due to design changes, the production technology department needs to confirm all the relevant fixtures to deal with the impact of the change, and sometimes the workload will be heavy. If 3DCAD is used, the 3D parts shared with designers will become the standard for jig design, so changes can be made automatically. Furthermore, since interference confirmation, etc. can be performed without omission, it is possible to quickly respond to design changes.
TOBE in the production technology department
Synergy with design can be achieved by using 3DCAD to transform routine "wait" work into "offensive" work. In addition, since the design 3D data can always be linked to the jig design, even during the design process, the design department can give advice from the perspective of the jig, enabling rapid production response.
Summarize
From modeling tools for designers, to design tools, to production technology and manufacturing departments, 3DCAD is now available. In addition, 3D models are used instead of drawings to share design information across the company and clients. Companies that are practicing 3D development processes have been successful in utilizing such a wide range of 3D CAD.
