EVOLVE MANUFACTURING

EVOLVE Manufacturing Represents Both GD&T and Functionality

EVOLVE Manufacturing graphically compares measured results based on design or manufacturing datums producing proper manufacturing adjustments and how they impact GD&T tolerances. Understand why a part failed during the GD&T evaluation and which corrective actions can fix the manufacturing process.

Evolve Manufacturing is a powerful and unique 2D/3D tool which uses the same measurement point cloud data as the GD&T evaluation. This allows correlation of the GD&T results to feature deviations displayed in the manufacturing coordinate systems.

Grouping of Features
EVOLVE Manufacturing groups part features to help identify possible manufacturing issues.

The groups are determined by different manufacturing operations, tools or alignments.

Alignments
Manufacturing alignments simulate real manufacturing processes. Features and groups are evaluated in their manufacturing alignments, not their design alignments.

Error Components
Point deviations are separated into 4 error categories — location, orientation, size and form. These categories can be used individually, together or all at once.

Corrective Action Analysis
Powerful “What-if” simulations based on observed deviations allow immediate prediction of the effects of applied manufacturing corrections on the GD&T results.
