Toolkit lets ASA Systems help MIcro Cadam users
Japanese CAD developer ASA Systems has leveraged the power and open architecture of Actify Software Developer Toolkit (SDK) to create an importer that supports Micro Cadam files.
"When developing a product such as ours the rate of change and development is rapid, so we use Actify's products to share all our design files quickly and easily with our suppliers", said Tony Martindale, CEO of Connaught Engineering.
"The ability to communicate design changes instantly with them is essential to our business and allows us to deliver high-quality products to customers like Tesco".
With suppliers worldwide, Connaught needed to share design files and be able to collaborate on changes in a rapid, efficient and controlled manner.
Actify's suite of products allows Connaught to share design files, of any format, with suppliers without the need for expensive investment by the supply chain CAD seats.
This enables their suppliers to view, measure, analyse and mark up these files and deliver findings to the relevant Connaught engineer.
Seamless communication on the production designs has saved costs on tooling, reducing time to production and increasing productivity.
