CADbro 2021 Released for Better Collaboration on 3D Models

Reading time ( words)

ZWSOFT released CADbro 2021, an easy-to-use 3D CAD viewer for whoever needs to collaborate on engineering data, especially salespeople, technicians, quality controllers, designers, etc.

Import More Information in Less Time
Thanks to the upgraded translator of CADbro, users can import more versions of files, such as CATIA^® V5-6R2020, Creo^® 6.0, Inventor^® V2020, and NX^® 1899, and access their part attributes, for example, material.

Besides, the Quick Import command loads the display data and the geometric data for measuring or basic editing in a shorter time.

Modify and Collaborate on 3D Models Easily
When modifying the 3D model in the desktop app, users can easily find the command needed with the new Command Search function.

Plus, Datum CYSY and axes that facilitate the measurement of objects can be created. Datum axes are especially useful when the axis of a particular model is not in line with any default coordinate indicator.

To ensure a safe and reasonable assembly design, users can check the minimum distance between components with the new Clearance Check function.

Users can also predefine the explode steps of the model and upload them together to the cloud. Afterwards, the exploded view can be examined according to the pre-defined steps on the web.

Share Smaller Files via QR Code
To make file sharing even easier and file opening even faster, users can now generate a QR code for the model file. Also, the size of .Z3DS files shrinks without any loss of quality.

The decision to pursue military and aerospace (milaero) certification impacts every facet of the organization, and not every shop is prepared to make this transformation. This is the first article in a four-part series, breaking down what it takes in sales and customer service, engineering and CAM, purchasing and quality, and manufacturing. Anaya Vardya starts by exploring sales and customer service.

I recently spoke with industry veteran (and I-Connect007 columnist) Denny Fritz about the relationship between quality and reliability—two terms that are unequal but often used interchangeably. We also discuss the current state of lead-free solders in the U.S. military and defense market as well as the microvia reliability issues Denny focused on at IPC’s High-Reliability Forum and Microvia Summit in Baltimore, Maryland.

It all started in 1983, at HP, when I complained to our group's vice president that our W. Edwards Deming and Total Quality Management (TQM) Six Sigma training was being concentrated in PCB manufacturing. We had eliminated final inspection and instead placed quality in the hands of the operators with a final electrical test. The electrical test was governed by what we learned from Deming.
