3DCS
Optimally manage product quality with the best-in-class solution for tolerance simulation
The 3DCS software suite enables simulation-based tolerance analysis, thereby reducing resource consumption and manufacturing costs. With 3DCS, you can integrate a digital quality twin into the product development process. The CAD 3D model becomes a virtual prototype that you can use to simulate and analyze assembly processes and tolerance chains. Your benefit: Accelerated development and early elimination of costly sources of error.
Advantages of the 3DCS tolerance analysis software
What can the 3DCS tolerance analysis software do for your company?
Quality is a success factor – with 3DCS, you can manage it efficiently and comprehensively. Your digital quality twin reveals the real relationships across the board and makes them visible to everyone. Simulation-based variance analysis provides you with important insights that you can use to identify the strengths and weaknesses of a design and its tolerances and to develop cost-effective tolerance concepts based on this information.
In addition, the 3DCS analysis software enables tolerance problems to be identified and corrected at an early stage. This type of optimization of the development process reduces the amount of rework required and the scrap rate, thereby significantly lowering the overall costs of product development.
Manufacturing also becomes more economical, as the virtual prototype can be tested in the simulation, reducing the costs for tools and fixtures in a real test environment. You can also make manufacturing processes more effective and safer by analyzing different 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.
