Advantages of 2-D/3-D Associativity

Today more than 50% of all design tasks are realised in 3-D – a trend that is bound to continue.

Companies already working with a 3-D system appreciate the competitive advantages it provides. Various essential phases of the production development cycle, such as tender preparation, process planning, prototype engineering or quality control, benefit to a considerable extent from the possibility to evaluate prototypes during early design stages with respect to their functional integrity. As a result the error rate falls, productivity improves and costs are radically reduced.

A fully associative 2-D/3-D CAD solution such as HiCAD provides a solid basis for a smooth and productive change to 3-D design.

Use your existing 2-D know-how for a convenient 3-D migration! Besides an effortless and error-free import of existing 2-D data, HiCAD enables

you to process your 2-D drawings further and automatically convert them to 3-D model drawings if required. In this way, costs for 2-D->3-D migration can be reduced by more than 60%, thus enabling a massive increase in productivity.

Therefore, more than 90% of ISD’s customers are currently using the advantages of 3-D design, working flexibly in both 2-D and 3-D. The associative approach allows a combined processing of 2-D and 3-D objects in one file, making the data transfer of 2-D geometries as a basis for 3-D models a very easy and convenient task. The creation of production drawings in 2-D takes place equally effortlessly and can be effected parallel to the 3-D model processing if required.

Tiresome switching between modules will no longer be necessary! Special knowledge of the most diverse industries, such as mechanical engineering, plant engineering, sheet metal processing or steel and metal engineering can be used to perform individual, industry specific design tasks – even for hybrid projects involving various industries.

Even highly complex assemblies can be processed rapidly and conveniently. The extremely consistent data structure ensures smooth engineering processes even when processing assemblies consisting of several thousands of parts.
