DIMENSIONAL CONTROL SYSTEMS

ENGINEERING IN NEW DIMENSIONS


Visually Observe
Dimensional Variation
A manufacturer's ability to achieve required assembly tolerances is often compromised by the complexity of managing
so many part tolerances within an assembly. Variation analysis is a must for evaluating dimensional part and process
specifications in order to achieve a robust design. Dimensional Control Systems 3-D Tolerance Simulation Software
is the premier tool for evaluating, optimizing and validating the dimensional integrity of a design for improved quality
while significantly contributing to time and cost savings.

3DCS Variation Analyst Multi-CAD

3DCS Variation Analyst Multi-CAD has an extensive set of tools and features that provide great flexibility to the
engineering analyst allowing for even the most complex systems to be analyzed. 3DCS Variation Analyst is the ideal
tool for detailed tolerance simulation modeling, and allows manufacturers to thoroughly appraise design, fabrication
and assembly robustness by quickly evaluating GD&T, assembly tooling and build sequencing well ahead of
production release.

3DCS Variation Analyst Multi-CAD is a Windows-based solution and is compatible with any CAD system. In this way,
3DCS Variation Analyst Multi-CAD provides the necessary variation analysis methods to easily identify the sources of
excessive variation and ultimately improve the robustness of the design.

Optimize Product Designs and Processes
The cost of design errors increases dramatically the later they are detected in the design/manufacturing cycle. 3DCS Variation
Analyst Multi-CAD allows the engineering community to evaluate design and assembly concepts up front, where problem areas can
be identified and corrected early in the product development cycle. Optimizing for dimensional integrity improves the robustness of
design and processes by maximizing part tolerances while controlling the dimensional assembly requirements of the final assembly.

Reduce Cycle Time & Rework Costs Visualize


Shorten development time, accelerate time to market and reduce costs by utilizing the capabilityDimensional
of 3DCS Variation Analyst Multi-CAD
for virtual prototyping. By maximizing part tolerances while still controlling dimensional assemblyVariation
requirements, manufacturing costs
can be reduced with less rework to tools and gages, minimized scrap and reduced number of warranty defects.
