paperless die design information management SMIRT DieShop lets die makers, pattern makers, machinists, foremen and other users extract the information they need to build a die directly from a solid model without the need to generate plots / drawings (a true paperless environment). Powerful annotation and information sharing tools make possible to improve and speed up the information flow through the entire organization.

Information from multiple CAD sources Different CAD sources are managed (VISI Modeling, CATIA V4, CATIA V5, UG NX, Autodesk Inventor, IGES) to offer a single look and feel to the final users. All the information available in the CAD data (geometry, stock list and technology) is retrieved and made available in the easiest way to be used for design review and analysis for shop floor activities. This is our DNA…. Solid Model Information Retrieval Technology. Stock list and balloons The stock list information (item ID, quantity, material, commercial code and others) retrieved from the CAD data is available in SMIRT DieShop to interactively navigate through the parts and components of the die: select one or more items from the stock list to display them (or add to display). Interactive balloons are available with stock list information to get item information by simply picking the relevant component in either 3D or section view modes. Simple intuitive user interface Recognizing that shop floor personnel are getting paid to build dies and not to be CAD/CAM operators, SMIRT DieShop has been designed to be very easy to use with minimal training required. SMIRT DieShop uses a simple, intuitive plain text interface for all operations (no icons to memorize) and is specifically designed for the needs of die makers, based on a real life die making experience. Sharp, clear and fast graphics The graphics representation available in SMIRT DieShop is designed to make it easy to understand the structure and functionality of the die assembly. The fast graphics engine enables the user to zoom, move, rotate and change view mode in real time, without waiting for graphic regeneration. Standard orthogonal and isometric views are always available and only one mouse click away.
