Smap3D PartFactory

PartFactory is used to create new series of parts i.e. geometrically similar parts for custom libraries (company standards, standard parts etc.).

As a basis for this process PartFactory requires a parametricised part as a source file. PartFinder then links the variables contained in the source file to values in an Excel table (configuration file). The different values for the series are entered in the configuration file, PartFactory then creates the series using the source file and these values. The resulting output can either be a single master file ("Parent Part") or individual Solid Edge files for each component in the series. These files can then be added to an existing library and are then available under the appropriate category in PartFinder.

It is, of course, also possible to define information for Solid Edge fastener systems or piping components directly in the configuration file, in order for the parts to be immediately available in these modules.
