Supporting both the engineering and manufacturing groups, DCS-PCA is an add-on module to the 3DCS and GDM-3D software solutions.  DCS-PCA identifies fault patterns; the inter-relationship between part and assembly features.

A seamless extension to the 3DCS variation analysis software, DCS - PCA technology enables engineering to identify and animate all recognizable fault patterns at the digital design stage for pro-active design optimization.

As a seamless extension to the GDM-3D software, DCS - PCA technology enables manufacturing and quality to extract and animate true variation patterns deriverd from the inspection data.  This provides a visual representation of the shop floor  part/assembly variation, expediting root cause analysis and direct problem resolution.

Business Values

DCS-PCA can save organizations time and money through the advanced visualization of measurement data. The PCA pattern recognition and data correlation offers faster understanding of the measurement information. When manufacturing issues arise and engineering / quality need to resolve the issue, the better they can visualize and understand the modes of variation , the faster they can apply direct corrective action without costly trial and error.

Product Overview

• Ability to analyze the data collected on multiple features and samples of a part/assembly  as a whole.
• Eliminates manual user correlation of individual data variation to make decisions.
• Extract all patterns and sorts them by magnitude in the way the part floats on the Assembly or Fixture.
• Visually animates the part in each identified pattern in 3D.
• Displays correlation indices between the measured features on the part.
• Aligned with design and manufacturing closed loop problem solving methods.
