Advanced perspectives through CAD visualization

ModellTechnik Rapid Prototyping GmbH, a renowned manufacturing company for prototypes made from replacement and series material, has successfully implemented the CAD viewer SpinFire Enterprise from Actify in the limitless company solution. The software enables efficient 3D/2D data visualization that is used in all areas of the company, including sales, design, manufacturing and quality assurance.

Challenge and solution:

For 33 years, ModellTechnik Rapid Prototyping GmbH has specialized in the production of prototypes and complex assemblies for customers from the automotive industry, aerospace, industrial design, lifestyle and medical technology. The Thuringia-based company is also an expert in mold making, more specifically in injection molding tools made of aluminum or steel. Gauge and fixture construction as well as an injection molding technical center are also part of the service portfolio. As the company continued to grow, the challenge of visualizing the diverse 3D CAD data formats that customers receive every day across departments and in a uniform manner also increased.

To meet this challenge, the company chose Actify’s limitless SpinFire Enterprise solution. This solution enables the visualization of 2D and 3D data in all common formats such as CATIA, NX, Creo, SolidWorks, STEP, JT and many more. The CAD viewer also offers analysis tools such as wall thickness analysis, sectional views, dimensions, measurements, expanded views and markups.

Results and advantages:

Business visualization with SpinFire Enterprise has proven itself in many ways for ModellTechnik Rapid Prototyping GmbH. In sales, the software enables early identification of weak points in the geometry, which leads to more precise offers. In manufacturing and construction, the CAD viewer supports the team in quality assurance and minimizes customer complaints through optimal compliance with customer requirements.

Andreas Kirchner, IT system administrator at MODELLTECHNIK, emphasizes the time and cost savings through SpinFire Enterprise: “Thanks to the reliable and cross-departmental visualization of 3D data, we can make our daily work easier and more efficient.” The uncomplicated familiarization with the software as well as short distances thanks to the possibility of making direct arrangements with customers and colleagues continue to contribute to the positive response from employees.
