Design Automation
If your company designs many products that are different, but similar then Design Automation can save your engineers a great deal of time by producing variations on a standard design automatically. Alignex offers multiple Design Automation solutions. Let us discover the right solution to fit your specific needs. It is estimated that 65% of all 3D Mechanical Design users can benefit from Design Automation in some way. A moderate investment of time can return hundreds of hours in saved design time over a product lifetime. By letting automated systems calculate the tedious designs, engineers can innovate new designs.
DriveWorks for SolidWorks
- Does your company create new designs based on a theme?
- Do you have repetitive design tasks that could be automated?
- Could your products be defined by a set of rules?
What is DriveWorks?
- DriveWorks lets you capture and re-use knowledge and rules to specify, design and engineer-to-order.
- DriveWorks let you automate repetitive tasks and generate design and manufacturing output quickly and accurately.
- Create custom products in minutes... not days.
- Using DriveWorks is Easy
1. Set up
Capture items that can change. (e.g. Dimensions, Features, Names, Documents and Data) Assign your rules and create your custom forms.
2. Run
Fill out your forms, to automatically and accurately create 3D Models, 2D Drawings and documentation (such as quotes, BOM's and Cutting lists) time after time after time
TactonWorks for SolidWorks
Revolutionizing Engineer-to-Order in SolidWorks
TactonWorks is the first state-of-the-art product configurator integrated inside a professional 3D CAD system. Tacton Configurator has for almost a decade been at the leading edge of product configuration, supporting manufacturers in generating custom configured quotations and BOMs for order processing. TactonWorks makes these outstanding capabilities available to the SolidWorks community, taking Knowledge Based Engineering to a new level of interactivity, validation, and ease of maintenance.
Benefits of product configuration in SolidWorks:
- Automate routine engineering tasks in design-to-order processes
- Engineers can quickly generate custom drawings and 3D models for quotations
- Thousands of variants with unique CAD files can be generated automatically in batch mode
- Web site users can create custom configured products and download dynamically generated
