Solution
• Rules based utomatic rocess planning of composite plies
• Reuse engineering ply data in planning
• Deliver accurate as-planned and as-designed information to the shop floor
• End to end process coverage with DS V5 Partner solutions
Results
• Reduce Planning time up to 90%
• Avoid re-work with error free communication
• Minimize design changes with feedback loop
3D VIA for e-ply book
3D Via Composer reads natively CATIA Composites
entities. It allows the diffusion of electronic ply book
and training manuals to the shopfloor.
