VDA BALLOONS IN SOLIDWORKS INSPECTION   VDA -  Verband der Automobilindustrie (Association of the Automotive Industry) is a German quality management system standard frequently used in Automotive Industry.   VDA balloons  are characterized by a drop shape. SOLIDWORKS Inspection is a First Article Inspection (FAI) and in-process inspection software that helps in automating the ballooning of engineering drawings and 3D files with Product Manufacturing Information (PMI) and Inspection reports. Minimizing the time needed to record inspection measurements.  SOLIDWORKS Inspection streamlines the creation of industry-standard inspection report (such as AS9102, PPAP, and ISO 13485). SOLIDWORKS Inspection can function both within SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD as an add-in and can work as standalone product. The software is capable of opening a variety of file formats such as SOLIDWORKS files, PDF, TIFF, DXF, DWG, CATIA, PTC/Creo and Unigraphics/NX files.   ...

Industrial Equipment Design: SOLIDWORKS integrated product development solutions cover the full range of modelling, simulation, and communication that machine builders need in order to accelerate time-to-market of new machines while reducing costs and ensuring greater safety and reliability. We cover all aspects of product development, offering tools that help you conceptualize, visualize, test, and document your 3D designs. Challenges faced by Industrial Equipment Industry: Developing derivative products in a cost effective manner. Too much time spent creating, updating and managing engineering drawings. Accurately machining parts without reworking 3D data Aligning manufacturing and assembly with engineering intent Information such as Bill of Materials and drawings must be synchronized Fluctuations in raw material costs adds increased complexity to the bidding process. BOM is automatically generated from design so purchasing list will be accurate. Visualization and mana...
