Where all 3D modeling software can "eventually" design anything you throw at them, the next question should be, "How fast?" Whether you are quoting a project or defining the high precision details, you need more than 3D to increase your competitive advantage and profitability. This is why the 3DQuickTools product line has come to market for Metalforming professionals. We can automate your style of die design!
Just a few years ago, we introduced you to 3DQuickPress with its break through speed and automation capabilities. Since then the product line has grown and expanded in many ways and is still 100% focused on die designers! The product line is composed of 3DQuickPress, 3DQuickStrip, 3DQuickForm and 3DQuickQuote. Depending on your needs and budget, we have solutions that automate the transition from 2D design and core 3D design to the next level of automation. Yes, this is much more than just 3D! The products listed above are all embedded and powered by SolidWorks. 3DQT can automate many of the most difficult and time consuming tasks for the full-time die designer and technical sales professional.
There are five main areas where 3DQuickTools can take you beyond standard 3D:
- Ability to unfold imported stamped parts with a proprietary high performance feature recognition engine for incremental blank development. This is not just crash blank development--the results are a feature rich blanked part.
- Extremely fast intelligent strip creation with quick modification tools focusing the user on "process and operation of the tool." This is compared to time consuming standard modeling methods that requires standard feature creation or an assembly of part s with configuration management.
- Punch and dieset design that is extremely automated for cutting, bending, and forming that can be taught your style of die design without programming--Production Ready Libraries (PRLs)! All 3D parts and assemblies created come with detailed drawings even though they are custom to the current job.
- 2D sketching and drafting automation tools reduce time of very detailed and tedious tasks in the part, assembly and detail drafting environments.
- Speed and ease of change. With standardization, innovative mathematical break-throughs and best practices, 3DQuickTools can make SolidWorks even easier to use. This reduces the learning curve for a new user to get up to speed in SolidWorks for die design.
What else is new? You have many options to get educated about the ever-evolving products from 3DQT.
