Transformed 2D Drawing to 3D CAD Models For Industrial Tool Manufacturer

Digitized manufacturing drawings to retain design intelligence and opportune futuristic tool design upgrades.

We worked with: Industrial equipment and tool manufacturer, India

The company needed: To translate 2D drawings of reducer gear assembly to 3D CAD models as per manufacturing capabilities.

The challenges client faced:

Challenges

Tool manufacturer had design database saved as non-editable 2D drawings in pdf format. It obstructed the means to enhance designs and no scope of updating ECOs in record drawings resulting in multiple handwritten footnotes.

Our engineering approach:

Approach

Hitech’s CAD engineers studied existing 2D drawings for reducer gear assembly of a steel strapping machine saved in pdf format which had no scope to edit, correct or upgrade. Project engineers also studied the available tooling capabilities on shop floor for design alignment and reduce ECOs.

All the 2D files were translated to 3D solid models meticulously to retain design intelligence during translation. Based on the information gathered and comprehensive 3D models, final part models, components, fixtures and complete assembly model was generated.

Also, manufacturing and fabrication drawings along with BOMs, exploded isometric views and multiple views of model was readily created, with convenience.

The results achieved:
