CAD Partner introduces “ScanToCAD” at Solid Edge University 2016

CAD Partner are a regular supporter of Solid Edge University and this year will be exhibiting their new Smap3D “ScantoCAD” solution in addition to their well known Smap3D Plant Design software.

Smap3D ScanTo3D will be demonstrated at SEU16

Smap3D ScanToCAD transfers high volumes of point cloud from 3D scans into Solid Edge easily and quickly . Smap3D ScanToCAD merges the various referenced scans or the individual scans into an overall project and transfers selected 3D geometry directly in Solid Edge.

CAD Partner will also present Smap3D Plant Design, a unique solution that allows you to bring P&ID data into Solid Edge for use in your design of process plant and equipment. If you want to use P&IDs, standard pipe specifications and isometric drawings in your Solid Edge design process, Smap3D Plant Design is a proven solution with several published case studies including from brewery equipment designer Kaspar Schulz.

Using the information from the P&ID to automatically generate pipes in Solid Edge significantly increases the speed and accuracy of the design process. Modifications to process plant design can be time consuming, but the integrated process chain provided by Smap3D allows implementation of all tasks in parallel. Best of all, changes can be made directly to parts and assemblies because Smap3D Plant Design automatically generates Solid Edge models. This allows the user to make changes at any time, to any part and assembly without the involvement of other software. 

CAD Partner will also be exhibiting Smap3D Plant Design at SEU16

Benefits of Smap3D:

• After choosing the pipe specs and diameter and pressure, the pipeline is automatically created


• The completely integrated software then takes over the placement of curved pipes and bends


• T-pieces, flanges and gaskets are also created


• This reliable process reduces errors and saves significant time

So please stop by the CAD Partner booth at SEU16 to check out the new Smap3D ScanTo3D software and Smap3D Plant Design. Alternatively, if you cant make it to Solid Edge University this year you can access a free trial of Smap3D.
