A key advantage of designing with Kubotek 3D technology is the ability to
generate virtual prototypes early in the design process. Identifying potential
design problems up-front saves time and improves quality downstream.
Frequently, experienced designers can quickly see problems by looking over the
3D model. Yet, visual examination can't locate the more subtle problems. Having
advanced technology to verify exactly what is going on across the entire model
takes confidence in the design to a new level.
Interference Checking
Kubotek technology can test a set of selected solids to see if any interference
conditions exist between parts (overlapping or containment). If interferences
are found, the function provides a visual walk-through of each problem location
in the design, highlighting the interference areas.
Interference checking is an important test that can catch oversized or misaligned parts before they are produced. Problem areas are shown in red.
To produce quality finished parts, molded and cast part models need appropriate draft angles on all faces. These conditions are rarely perfect on a designer's product model because what is appropriate depends on the orientation of the part during manufacturing and other variables determined during manufacturing planning. Kubotek's draft angle technology visually shows potential problem areas on a model which will need to be adjusted in the design.
Verification of draft angles allows part and manufacturing designers to see potential problems in a model
