2019 - March
Excel can be used for a lot of equation-based applications. Many companies rely on it for their tolerance analysis; doing 1D stacks and stack-up analysis. For basic cases, this works great and can be a fast and effective way to get answers quickly, but as soon as products, models, and requirements become more complex, Excel falls flat.
2019 - March
Model Variants have been added to the new version of 3DCS. This much-requested feature allows users to designate different model builds within the same model. This reduces issues with version control, as well as removing the need for multiple cloned versions of the same model in order to simulate different processes, parts or tolerance schemes. Now, within the same model, users can define different assembly methods, tolerances or GD&T, and measurements for each variant, swapping between them with the push of a button.
2019 - April
Equation Measure - Learn how to make custom measurements in 3DCS based on equations, if/then logic, conditional logic, and other custom inputs and outputs.

If there is an output that can't be determined with the standard measurement types, chances are the Measure Equation DLL will be able to determine the output.
2019 - May
Measurements are what give you your outputs in 3DCS. These measurements can be used to simulate the real methods of inspection; how a FARO arm will measure the parts, or a check gage or fixture, or can be simple point-to-point measurements to give you the final value.

Effective communication with suppliers is difficult. Sending information via email can be disjointed, lead to missed messages and files, and is open to data insecurity.
A connected method of communication - providing instructions to suppliers for measurement and standards, and the supplier a means of reporting measurements and providing documents (Ppap, FAIR) back to the OEM - is essential to an effective supplier quality assurance program.
This webinar will demonstrate three methods of communicating with suppliers - sharing documents, correlating measurements, and negotiating tolerances.
