Data verification eases digital design process.


[ILLUSTRATION OMITTED]

As computer-aided design computer-aided design (CAD) or computer-aided design and drafting (CADD), form of automation that helps designers prepare drawings, specifications, parts lists, and other design-related elements using special graphics- and calculations-intensive  (CAD), engineering (CAE (1) (Computer-Aided Engineering) Software that analyzes designs which have been created in the computer or that have been created elsewhere and entered into the computer. ) and manufacturing tools (CAM) have become more complex, the need to seamlessly share data between them has grown stronger. Elysium Inc.'s update of CADdoctor EX3.0 data verification tool assists in the translation of data into its most usable form for each application.

A Polygon polygon, closed plane figure bounded by straight line segments as sides. A polygon is convex if any two points inside the polygon can be connected by a line segment that does not intersect any side. If a side is intersected, the polygon is called concave.  Option can check and repair holes, "noise," and other defects that impede easy export of polygonal data from STL (STereoLithography) A 3D printing file format created by 3D Systems for its stereolithography system. Also supported by many numerical control, rapid prototyping and rapid manufacturing machines, STL provides the surface geometry of the item in triangles.  files. An Advanced Envelope Function can "shrink-wrap" a 3D model to turn an assembly into a 3D solid, simplifying the surface accurately to share limited data with suppliers.
