PAS CMM-Engineering Available as Standalone Package for SolidWorks

By DE Editors

PAS Technology announced PAS CMM-Engineering, a standalone package for SolidWorks engineers. The new product is a part of the PAS CMM-Inspection Lifecycle Management Suite, allowing designers, manufacturers, inspectors, and managers to create a complete, automated inspection process directly from the CAD data.  According to the company, the automated solution ensures that reliable inspection results can be shared, analyzed and simulated by all the participants of the design-manufacturing cycle.

PAS CMM-Engineering enables SolidWorks users to initiate a complete inspection process automatically, directly from the SolidWorks screen, with just a few mouse clicks.  The solution performs a geometric analysis of a parts features and links them to the specified GD&T to create the inspection instruction automatically, including placing ballooning on drawings.   

PAS CMM-Engineering supports SolidWorks engineering changes by adjusting the GD&T labeling scheme to the changes and synchronized to drawing ballooning and with the customers PDMPLM system.

The inspection process data is accessible to manufacturers, inspectors and to other participants in the supply chain. The inspection information and instruction process is available in multiple formats (including FAI), either through a customers LANIntranet or PAS Technology's secured platform.

Having an identical PAS CADCMM model, the manufacturing process is synchronized with the inspection requirements, eliminating future conflicts using different translated models and different manual interpretations by inspection and manufacturing
