Assembly Compare Assembly Compare allows you to compare entire assemblies. Find which parts have changed, and see exactly where they have changed. Using Assembly Compare is a 4-step process 1. Click Open Parts from the MagicCheck toolbar. Select both assemblies you want to compare. 2. Click on MagicCheck Settings. Make sure your values are correct. I often use .001 inch as my tolerance setting. If you use mm or cm, you’ll want to change your units in Settings > General. Then come back to MagicCheck Settings and adjust your tolerance as needed. Also, we advise keeping your Analysis Resolution at 5% or less, to ensure even small changes are found. 3....

Normally, we think of production bottlenecks as occurring on the production floor; but there are upstream processes which can delay production as well as adversely impact manufacturing, quality assurance and scrap. CAD Viewing The inability for all project stakeholders to view and interact with CAD model data can become a production bottleneck, because 3D part and assembly models give the entire team a window into the project which could trigger necessary interventions early in the production process, before they become prohibitively expensive. CAD Viewers and 3D PDFs – This doesn’t mean all stakeholders need a full CAD seat, however; they might just...

Avoid Million-Dollar Manufacturing Disasters Note: This blog post is a subset of a white paper entitled Avoiding Engineering Disasters which will be released soon, and contains more information as well as citations. We will post a link to the paper here soon. In engineering, something as simple as declaring the wrong unit of measure can create a disaster costing millions of dollars. John Pike, space policy director at the Federation of American Scientists, stated, “It is very difficult for me to imagine how such a fundamental, basic discrepancy could have remained in the system for so long,” regarding the English to Metric units mistake at NASA.
