Difficulties and challenges:
Guangzhou aircraft maintenance engineering limited (“aircraft maintenance”) was established in guangzhou in october 1989 and its annex maintenance centre is one of the most fully functional aircraft annex maintenance bases in the country. Airfarers a300, a310, a 320, a 330, a380 and accessories are provided with various levels of maintenance, modification, engineering, etc. For the boeing series 737, 747, 767, 777, 787 and 787 series, with precision in the development of efficient maintenance and quality products。
However, product design development has not been enhanced and processing data interactions have taken place, owing to the fact that the retrofit design products are mostly mechanical, electronic, plastic and other aircraft parts, and that the original three-dimensional cad/cam software does not have a whole set of model designs and process options. In addition, large quantities of processed data will be interfaced with other mould processing plants. If data are not sufficiently compatible at any stage, there is a risk of data confusion and complexity of drawings. Therefore, companies consider selecting a three-dimensional cad/cam software that optimizes the design process of the mould efficiently to increase efficiency and cost savings。
Solutions:
1. 3d is highly compatible with cad, data interactive optimization design process
The aircraft maintenance company had previously purchased cad as the main tool for the development of the two-dimensional design to make the overall structure of the aircraft's cabin more beautiful and practical, while at the same time working with the three-dimensional cad/cam software to model its products and modify and replace some of the aircraft's interior installations. The overall workflow is relatively complex and requires collaboration between processes, engineering and production processes in different sectors。
The company eventually opted for 3d to create a platform for unified collaboration, strengthened the collaboration between 2d and 3d designs, rapidly transformed 2d drawings into 3d models, reduced the time wasted by the middle and reduced the efficiency of design development。
A powerful data interface with 3d-specialized plastic moulds also provides an optimisation package for the production automation of aircraft maintenance companies. The direct call of the standard agencies, whose data interaction capabilities enable fast, high-quality input and output of three-dimensional data models to support data interchange with mainstream cad software abroad。
High value for money cad/cam training to increase cost advantage
Many domestic firms now import high-end, mainstream, three-dimensional cad/cam software, which is expensive and difficult and complex to apply in its entirety, putting heavy pressure on businesses. By contrast, 3d is fully functional and cost-friendly and has the advantage of raising the cost of the enterprise and helping it to rationalize its procurement budget according to the design needs of different sectors。
It also organized customized training for specialized technical teams on intra-enterprise applications, allowing aircraft maintenance engineers to quickly master 3d in the shortest possible time. The learning-by-learning system embedded in 3d is easy to use and facilitates intra-firm training, rapid outreach and maintenance。
