/24-7PressRelease/ - April 23, 2007 - According to manufacturing journalist, Thomas R. Cutler, in a recent issue of Design Product News, "ETO automation systems have a direct impact on product design, he adds, because factors that include:
* Configuration of a 3D product model for use by the customer and/or sales engineer
* Automated engineering analyses based on the 3D product model and the product's intended usage environment
* Creation of detailed drawings down to the piece-part level for internal engineering and manufacturing use
* Generation of BOM, price quote, work orders, and other documents
* Automated NC tool path generation
* Data management/archiving of various product configurations
* Secure, web-based access to product configurations with customer access restricted to only their own designs
Cutler concludes, "Knowledge-capture and reuse software for ETO manufacturers ... allows manufacturers to respond to customer-specific orders more rapidly, accurately and efficiently."
