TDM 3D Tool Graphic Builder, CAA V5 Based
A solution by: TDM SYSTEMS
Application domain: Manufacturing
Solution Overview
The ToolGraphicBuilder CAAV5 Based (TGB) is a software tool to generate tool graphics of assemblies directly in CATIA V5. Therefore, a small TDM menue is integrated in CATIA V5. The TGB quickly generates 3D graphics of symmetrical rotating assemblies as CATProduct.
Here is how it works:
1. Import of assemblies from TDM into CATIA V5: bill of materials and tool components graphics in DXF-Format (2D)
2. Creation of CAT Drawings (2D) directly in CATIA V5
3. Creation of an outline contour and definition of cutting and non-cutting parts (CUT/NONCUT)
The TDM ToolGraphicBuilder CAAV5 Based is a solution for users which have already TDM in use and 2D-DXF graphics of tools available.
Benefits
- Creation of 3D solids for tool assemblies in the CATIA V5 environment
- The graphics include all geometry parameters with differentiation of cutting and noncutting parts.
- Dramatic Increase in processing accuracy and reliabiltiy in the production area.
- Reliable tool path replay and material removal simulation with true-to-scale and realistic tools.
