ESAin partners with global leader in product data interoperability – ITI

ESAin srl, has teamed with ITI, the global leader providing reliable interoperability solutions for product data and related systems, and developers of the CADfixTM software

International TechneGroup Incorporated was founded in 1983 by the late Dr. Jason “Jack” Lemon with a mission to help manufacturers drive innovation and time to market by applying computer-aided product development to engineering problems. Since then, the increased use of product development software and engineering systems across the enterprise created complex integration and interoperability obstacles that our clients could not overcome on their own. Today, ITI is the global leader providing reliable interoperability, validation and migration solutions for product data and related systems.

CADfix is the leading software solution for CAD model translation, repair, healing, defeaturing and simplification.

The CADfix Plant and Process Simplification (PPS) solution can quickly simplify large complex CAD assemblies and reduce file size for import into plant and process design systems and shipbuilding software. With CADfix PPS you can…

  • Achieve up to 70% reduction in engineering design labor associated with large MCAD model simplification
  • Increase profitability by enabling design teams to save labor costs and avoid penalties for project delays

Plant and machinery design software users frequently need to integrate multiple, complex models of machines and large equipment installations. The MCAD files supplied for this work can pose significant challenges. CAD models of complex machinery contain much more detail than is needed for factory layout and clash detection. The files are often extremely large and can lead to multiple failed import attempts and system instabilities.

The traditional approach to data reduction is manual model simplification and rework, which is non-productive, expensive, and ultimately causes project delays. CADfix PPS enables engineers to easily and quickly simplify large MCAD assemblies and models of machinery to reduce file size for more efficient integration into plant design systems.

Designers with little or no MCAD modelling experience can quickly and easily simplify complex parts

After evaluating CADfix PPS, ESAin quickly realised that the CADfix PPS simplification solution could address the immediate needs of their plant and process clients faced with integrating complex equipment models.

“We were extremely impressed with the CADfix PPS software,” commented Nicolò Boidi, EMEA Sales Director of ESAin srl. “This new reseller partnership expands the ESAin solution suite to include the CADfix PPS software. Now our customers can experience orders of magnitude in file size reduction. CADfix PPS will give them more manageable equipment models for integration with their ESApro solutions.”

“We look forward to working with ESAin and bringing CADfix PPS to their user community,” stated Chinn. “This partnership represents an exciting opportunity for both companies and looking further ahead we are keen to explore the potential for a closer direct integration of CADfix PPS with the ESApro solutions.”
