Industry Segment:Fabrication
Speed and flexibility are the new watch words for fabricators. As
competition heats up from a widening global marketplace, companies are faced
with new pressure to increase production and reduce cost. Similar to the
dynamics confronting many other segments within manufacturing, fabricators are
expected to do more with less. The ability to adapt to changing
requirements, smaller quantities, faster turnaround and higher quality is
critical. Even custom fabricators are pursuing efficiencies that can
ripple throughout the process. Large customers across the aerospace,
nuclear, military, government and medical sectors are demanding shorter
time-to-market.
The Business Challenge
A fabricator interfaces with multiple types of CAD data on a daily basis.
It isn’t cost effective to own copies of every CAD system on the
market. Yet, communication with customers and internal teams is
fundamental to successfully completing the job. As companies assess
changing market forces, getting more from CAD software presents an opportunity
to reduce time and increase productivity.
Teams from engineering to the shop floor must bring their expertise to bear.
- Work quickly with any CAD data received
- Prepare models for manufacture
- Collaborate effectively between teams
- Eliminate rework and waste
- Respond seamlessly to ECO changes
- Exchange design data with CNC punch presses
Kubotek Increases Productivity for Fabricators
Best-in-class solutions offer tools designed for fabricators to increase
flexibility and reduce time. When communication is a key success factor,
Kubotek makes the model geometry the common denominator among teams.
Engineers can easily access data from any CAD system, quickly recreate missing
model information, and take advantage of state-of-the-art modeling techniques
to streamline material orders, output drawings, and dimensions for the shop
floor. If the need exists for flat pattern development, count on Kubotek
technology to do that and much more. Kubotek enables companies to better
prepare for efficient and higher quality manufacturing.
