Instantly detecting and eliminating geometry, structure or methods errors, Q-Checker checks compatibility with downstream processes, ensuring models fit the needs of the entire manufacturing process.

Applied PLM Solutions has become an accredited reseller of Q-Checker software and services that enable companies to achieve and maintain the strict design and quality standards demanded by automotive and aerospace OEMs By automatically applying standards at the design phase, errors that were previously only detected in downstream processes can be avoided at origin

Instantly detecting and eliminating geometry, structure or methods errors, Q-Checker also checks compatibility with downstream processes, ensuring that 3D models fit the needs of the entire manufacturing process.

Shaun Clark, MD of Applied PLM Solutions said, "Major automotive OEMs including Honda, Daimler Chrysler Benz and Ford, as well as aerospace OEMs including Airbus, often insist that suppliers use Q-Checker to identify CAD errors at source rather than later in the production process where the costs of rectification are higher and more time consuming." "Q-Checker has built-in learning applications that help designers understand, apply and maintain company standards and rules".

"And, because checks are made at every stage, mistakes are identified and corrected as they occur".

"This produces design productivity increases of at least 10% and consequent benefits for users, especially those in multiCAD and inter-company data exchange environments".

Clark said "A recent report found that more than 90% of all CAD models contain significant errors".

"Using Q-Checker these can be completely avoided at source, with the financial, productivity and business benefits from its implementation realised immediately".
