Automotive Parts Process and Fixture Design Automation: Transforming Days into Minutes with Inventor!

In today’s digital world, the expectation of the automotive original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) is to launch new models in the shortest possible time. This demand has shortened the time available for new developments, with no compromise in desired quality. This has also percolated to the component development partners. As necessity drives innovation, we at Sansera had no option but to follow suit. Converting the traditional manual design processes into automated ones is the solution for this. Through Inventor iLogic software, we automated process and fixture design of precision automotive parts and delivered in MINUTES that which used to take DAYS. This helped to achieve zero-error designs and seamless integration of process and fixture design activities, leading to first time right and ON TIME. The solution delivers the right design—independent of the designer’s skill set—using embedded rule-based logic.
