Analyzing parts and organizing manufacturing with the Tebis CAD Viewer and NC Viewer
Real processes supported in the virtual computer world
The Tebis CAD Viewer and NC Viewer connect the virtual CAD world to real planning, manufacturing, and assembly processes. The CAD Viewer displays Tebis CAD files along with all the information needed to analyze parts. This allows all employees access to the current version at all times. That improves the flow of information from planning to assembly, eliminates unnecessary requests for additional information, and establishes smooth processes. Thanks to its simple and intuitive operation, the CAD Viewer is also suitable for users with minimal CAD/CAM experience for applications like costing and tool assembly.
Tebis Viewer systems also offer many advantages in NC-supported manufacturing: The NC Viewer helps to ensure that the right tools are provided in the tool crib and gives the machine operator the manufacturing data needed for tools, setup, and all NC programs as they will run on the machine. Viewer systems are designed for parts of any size and can be extended with modules.
CAD Viewer and NC Viewer features
- Import, visualize, organize, and structure data and supplement it with your own comments
- Dimension a 3D model (coordinates, lengths, diameters, etc.) and determine areas and volumes
- Analyze CAD geometry and quality (slope angles, curvatures, planar surfaces and fillets, defects)
- Compare version information
- Create intersection curves interactively
- Access manufacturing databases (tools, virtual machines, machining sequences)
- View NC programs with technology parameters in the Job Manager and call up NC information
- Simulate and collision-check toolpaths
- Adjust technology values in toolpaths
- Output NC programs via postprocessors
- Prepare NC documentation in XML format
- View information on the machine, setups, and tools
- Follow machining with removal simulation
Tebis CAD Viewer and NC Viewer in detail
CAD Viewer
With the CAD Viewer, you get information from the virtual 3D model in costing, manufacturing, and assembly using a paperless workflow – no need to print drawings or documentation. The Tebis CAD Viewer gives you digital access to current information on the part. You can analyze this directly from the Tebis CAD file. You have quick access to comprehensive functions for geometry and quality analyses in all departments and areas. This allows you to plan the manufacturing and work reliably throughout the process. File comparisons help you identify relevant details quickly in the event of changes.
- Select different part views
- Quickly find important information on manufactured and purchased parts
- Dimension 3D model
- Determine and analyze surface and volume contents
- File comparisons
- Analyze CAD geometry and quality: Detect slope angles, curvatures, planar surfaces and fillets, as well as defects
- Use comments
NC Viewer
With the Tebis NC Viewer, you can work digitally throughout the entire NC manufacturing process. Machine operators can access all relevant manufacturing information, including CAD blank geometry, CAD finished part geometry, clamping devices, and tools. Switch tools for specific orders. With the NC Viewer, you can realistically simulate toolpaths and ensure collision-free manufacturing – independent of the programming.
- Access manufacturing-related process libraries (tools, clamping devices, virtual machines, machining sequences)
- Determine information on the machine, setups and tools and change if necessary
- View NC programs with milling parameters in the Job Manager and call up NC information
- Simulate toolpaths and check for collision
- Adjust technical parameters in toolpaths
- Check NC programs and output in the correct control format
- Prepare NC documentation in XML format
- Follow machining with simulation of material removal
- Includes the function scope of Tebis Viewer CAD
