graphCAD offers methodologies and tools that can help engineers and designers reuse the same CAD models that have been revisited and reiterated multiple times throughout the design process. Refactoring is a remedy to the technical debt introduced as a result of lack of time.
Reports show that bad reuse of design data leads to 49% of engineers spending over three hours a week fixing design data, 32% of organisations missing deadlines, and 29% of organisations ordering the wrong parts.
Leveraging graph databases, graphCAD can show alternative representations for your current CAD models. We can show that too many interdependencies across your models can make them hard to reuse.
Restructure the internal structure of your CAD models without changing their outside behaviour. Don't lose any connection to other product data and avoid making mistakes when reusing it.
Make CAD models easier to reuse in your future projects. Refactored models are easier to reuse, potentially saving your business time and resources. Keep your technical debt under control.
The graph representation allows us to pinpoint structures and patterns that could slow down future progress when designing new components.
Awareness of the causes of technical debt in your CAD models will reduce the chance of repeating mistakes in the future. We offer training in methodologies that allow your team to address current structural problems in your CAD models.
Our software, currently under development, will be compatible with most CAD vendors.
Graph representations can aid your team in recognisign more quickly cause of technical debt and resolving problems before they lead to bottlenecks in your development.
