IcedCAD - Intelligently Created CAD drawings
On-the-fly assemblies from your Bill of Material (BOM)
Dynamically creating full assemblies "on-the-fly" from discrete component CAD drawings just became possible with Iced*CAD™.
Iced*CAD – Intelligently Created Engineering Drawings from CAD – automatically creates 3D and 2D drawings of your assemblies, on-the-fly, in your own CAD program, based on your existing parts lists and pre-drawn components.
How it works
Iced*CAD "reads" the parts list from the assembly bill of material residing in your manufacturing system database, pulls the individual component drawings and intelligently assembles the components "on-the-fly" in your CAD system using the program's existing API's.
Your engineers will be able to create unique solutions for your customers in minutes rather than the days or weeks it takes today.
Iced*CAD is fully web-enabled and works alongside your native CAD program's web viewer, so customers could even create their own custom assemblies and simply have your engineers sign-off on the drawings they create.
Iced*CAD uses your existing CAD program such as Pro/E™, AutoCAD™, Solidworks™, Catia™ or Unigraphics™ so there is no need to upgrade or re-train your engineers in a new CAD package.
Save your engineers time…Save yourself money
Typically engineers spend most of their day mired in non value-add processes. One is creating drawings for your customer's specific requirements. Most often these "special requests" are nothing more than acceptable variations of your existing product line. The time spent by your engineer is a necessity because the drawing for this particular assembly has never before been created, even though nothing "new" is actually being designed.
Another process that eats away at your engineers’ time is "updating" existing assembly drawings because the parts list has changed and the drawings must reflect the update. This is sometimes handled by macros within the CAD program, but they only work on an individual assembly within a single CAD program. Iced*CAD handles the updates "across-the-board" and "across your enterprise" within minutes.
No longer will your engineers be hampered with the limitations of individual technology. Your systems will be fully integrated and your engineers freed to truly innovate! Iced*CAD releases your engineers from tedious, non-value added tasks and frees them to design your next great product.
Integrate with manufacturing
Iced*CAD can help to speed manufacturing too! It assures that the shop floor has the correct assembly instructions every time. When Iced*CAD creates an assembly from the CAD component library, it also creates the instructions for that assembly for the shop floor worker to follow. The worker can print out the generated 2D drawing, with the included assembly instructions. Or, better yet, your shop floor worker can just mouse over the 3D component right on screen to see, in highlighted color, where it goes, how to assemble it and what order to follow.
Easier to implement than you might think
Call Purna Global Infotech to discuss how easily Iced*CAD can be implemented in your organization. We'll be pleased to demonstrate our Iced*CAD solution using your own bill of material parts list as a pilot project…a compelling, cost-effective way to demonstrate the true value proposition with Iced*CAD for your entire organization. We'll even measure and document your return on investment over the life of the implementation to prove our success.
