Unleash Your CAD Data (Sinequa Blog Post Shoutout)
/Designing and engineering a new part is costly. Doing so impacts downstream activities such as purchasing, sourcing, and inventory management. Errors and redundant work are often due to the inability to access the latest version of a CAD model.
These CAD models are self-contained databases that need to be easily accessible. There are hundreds of attribute tags and values (metadata) such as model name, author, and title. Yet finding CAD models based on this data can be impossible. How can an engineer find a part that has already been designed and developed? How does a shop-floor worker retrieve the latest version that specifies certain tooling? Or how can a purchasing agent understand the impact of replacing a part on other products? And even if the CAD model is found, how can it be viewed without licensed viewers or tools?
