Kubotek Validation Tool™ assures manufacturers that two CAD models that visually appear the same truly are geometrically identical. Kubotek Validation Tool™ performs a critical test for manufacturers that rely on the 3D model as the product specification and distribute models to suppliers. Adding this step to the process of sharing 3D CAD data can prevent costly errors resulting from unintentional edits or translation errors when it is passed between engineering groups. The report generation capabilities of the software include simple pass-fail indicators, a tamper-proof validation certificate, and a detailed listing of any differences found.
Main Features:
- Compare revisions to find each section of the model that has changed.
- Check translation results to be sure the new model exactly matches the original.
- User customizable validation criteria.
- Tests face sizes, locations, and types and model volume, area, CG and topology.
- Works with models from all major CAD systems without requiring any CAD licenses.
- Simple, pass/fail reporting.
- Interactive visual 3D walk-through of results.
- Ultra fast processing.
- Full set of manual diagnostic, visualization, and model repair capabilities.
- Report includes an encrypted validation certificate that stores a fingerprint of the validation process, ensuring that the report data is valid and has not been tampered with.
Trust Designs
- Prevents propagation of errors which could lead to rework, scrap parts, and production delays
- Provides confidence that 3D CAD data does not have hidden problems
- Confirms that changes made in the 3D CAD data by a supplier were only the requested ones
Improve time-to-market
- Delays in process are commonly the largest factor in making business profitable.
- Speed up design and manufacturing by validating the changes before sending the 3D CAD data downstream.
- Use PLM workflow to insulate the model from changes based on analysis and manufacturability
Save time over tedious manual review
- Eliminate transcription and omission errors
- Automated process for change management
- Analytics vs. reviewing designs by overlaying prints
- Automation of forms-based processes
- Powerful reporting capabilities
- The change report can be customized to meet any unique requirement for change management that any company may use.
