CAD-Data Validation: Exact Documentation of Changes

Validation Tool

Check if your CAD files have been changed

When translation changes or design revisions of your 3D CAD models occur and go undetected, costly manufacturing errors will occur downstream.

Avoid these additional cost by using Kubotek Validation Tool. It provides precise comparisons between 3D CAD models, allowing you to quickly pinpoint changes in model data.

With Kubotek Validation Tool you can:

  • compare design revisions
  • compare assemblies
  • discover changes at an early stage
  • varify translation results (e.g. CATIA V5 to STEP)

Avoid unnecessary cost and delays in the design process.

Features & Functions

  • Compare revisions to find each section of the model that has changed
  • Check translation results to be sure the new model exactly matches the original
  • User customizable validation criteria
  • Tests face sizes, locations, and types and model volume, area, CG and topology
  • Works with models from all major CAD systems without requiring any CAD licenses
  • Simple, pass/fail reporting
  • Interactive visual 3D walk-through of results
  • Ultra fast processing
  • Report includes an encrypted validation certificate that stores a fingerprint of the validation process, ensuring that the report data is valid and has not been tampered with

Benefits at a glance

Trust Designs

  • Increase communication of change
  • Prevents propagation of errors which could lead to rework, scrap parts, and production delays
  • Provides confidence that 3D CAD data does not have hidden problems
    Confirms that changes made in the 3D CAD data by a supplier were only the requested ones

Improve Time-to-Market

  • Increase efficiency through automation
  • Reduce rework and manual labor costs throughout the entire organization
  • Speed up design and manufacturing by validating the changes before sending the 3D CAD data downstream
  • Use PLM workflow to insulate the model from changes based on analysis and manufacturability

Save Time Over Tedious Manual Review

  • Eliminate transcription and omission errors
  • Automated process for change management
  • Analytics vs. reviewing designs by overlaying prints
  • Automation of forms-based processes
  • Powerful reporting capabilities
  • The change report can be customized to meet any unique requirement for change management that any company may use
