To continue growing in the manufacturing industry where digitalization is accelerating, seamless operation of 2D/3D data is the key! 2

First, let's review the workflow! Select 2D/3D CAD tools suitable for the right tasks to save on licensing costs. *Trial version available.

There are various CAD programs available in the market, ranging from 2D to 3D, and from low-end to high-end, each with different price ranges and specifications. Our 'BricsCAD' is a CAD that excels in compatibility with the 2D format DWG, which is widely used in the manufacturing industry. In addition to intermediate files commonly used in manufacturing, such as STEP and Parasolid, it also supports reading and writing native data formats of various brands of 3D CAD. While 3D design is spreading in the manufacturing industry as digitization accelerates, there are also areas where 2D design must adapt. In the future, the ability to seamlessly handle 2D/3D data will be key to optimizing workflows. **Key Points for Seamless 2D/3D Operation with BricsCAD** - Support for file formats prevalent in the manufacturing industry - User-friendly direct modeling features - Capability for BIM expansion - Affordable perpetual license that covers 2D, 3D, and BIM - Comprehensive Japanese language support for users *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.*

2D CAD software for designing production lines and equipment. Adopting CAD software that bridges 2D and 3D for outstanding mass production line design in car manufacturing.

Mazda Corporation had been using high-market-share CAD software and free CAD software, but both had challenges, and they were looking for a product to transition to. As a 2D CAD software for designing production lines and equipment, they introduced 'BricsCAD,' which is provided by our company. Utilizing a licensing system that can be used globally, it is also being utilized at overseas production sites. Additionally, by using "BricsCAD Communicator," they are streamlining the process of converting 3D part design data created with high-end CAD into 2D CAD. [Challenges Before Implementation] ■ A CAD software compatible with 3D, 2D, and architectural CAD is needed. ■ The cost of conventional paid software is high, leading to a shortage. ■ Free CAD software causes disruptions in business due to bugs and other issues. *For more details, please refer to the related catalog "BricsCAD Implementation Case Studies."

Contributing to the reduction of mistakes and losses in design operations, pursuing cost reduction and cost-effectiveness of existing electrical CAD, and utilizing design data for subsequent processes.

Introduction of the case study for the electrical and control design CAD system "ACAD-DENKI" Mitsuba Electric Industry Co., Ltd. faced two major challenges: 1. Improving the quality of manufacturing drawings raised by the manufacturing department during the production design process. 2. Issues related to licensing costs. By implementing our developed and sold electrical design CAD "ACAD-DENKI," they achieved a reduction in design man-hours and enabled the utilization of data for subsequent processes such as procurement and manufacturing. Through repeated proof-of-concept experiments leveraging the 3D capabilities of the base CAD, BricsCAD, further data integration is being advanced. [Challenges before implementation] - Reducing mistakes and losses in design operations - Cost reduction of existing electrical CAD and pursuit of cost-effectiveness - Utilization of design data for subsequent processes *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.

What improvements in design operations can be achieved by introducing CAD for electrical design? We will answer such questions! Let's take "ACAD-DENKI" as an example.

We will hold a webinar titled "Introduction to CAD for Electrical Design" to solve the problems faced by electrical designers. Dear electrical designers, Are you facing challenges such as: - "I conduct document reviews on paper. It takes time and is prone to errors..." - "The way drawings are created varies by person. There is a lack of consistency, which increases the effort needed for corrections..." - "I manually extract parts. Ordering mistakes happen frequently..." This webinar will provide clear answers to the question, "What improvements in design operations can be achieved by introducing CAD for electrical design?" [Overview] - Date and Time: Please check this page for the next schedule. https://www.alfatech.jp/seminar/acad-denki_webinar.html - Method: Online via Zoom - Participation Fee: Free (Pre-registration required) - Capacity: 20 participants - Registration Deadline: Three days before the event date (Please note that registration may close before the deadline if capacity is reached) *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.
