New 3D_Evolution Simplifier automatically reduces CAD files for smoother digital factory planning AM Software

by Design

In digital factory environments engineers very often face the challenge presented by highly detailed CAD models generating heavy data and therefore preventing smooth handling in factory planning software tools. A new 3D_Evolution Simplifier function now automatically generates envelope geometry, especially for all major visualization tools. Due to the strong reduction in the number of elements, the Simplifier enables smooth and fast processing of large CAD models.
