Quality Control for 3D Models
and 2D Drawings
Automate quality checks for 3D models and 2D drawings to ensure compliance with design standards and engineering rules.
Detect errors early, reduce rework, and maintain consistent, high-quality outputs across projects.
Model Structure & Standards Validation
- Feature naming and ordering compliance
- Model tree structure validation
- Template and start-part compliance
- Unit system and modeling standard checks
Geometry & Design Rule Checks
- Minimum and maximum thickness validation
- Feature size and spacing rules
- Hole standards (drill, tap, CB, CS)
- Fillet, chamfer, and blend limits
- Sheet metal rules:
- Thickness consistency
- Bend radius vs thickness
- K-factor and bend allowance rules
- Flat pattern validity
Parametric & Design Intent Validation
- Fully constrained sketches
- Missing or broken relations
- Invalid equations and parameters
- Regeneration failures and warnings
Parametric & Design Intent Validation
- Required views present (Front, Top, Side, Section, Isometric)
- View alignment and orientation rules
- Correct scale usage
- Flat pattern view checks (for sheet metal)
Dimension & Annotation Checks
- Missing dimensions
- Duplicate or conflicting dimensions
- Proper dimension types and placement
- Hole callout correctness
- Slot and pocket dimension rules
Symbols, GD&T & Notes Validation
- Mandatory datum symbols
- GD&T rule checks (position, flatness, perpendicularity, profile, etc.)
- Surface finish symbol presence and values
- Welding and machining symbol validation
- Standard notes compliance:
- Material
- Tolerances
- Heat treatment
- Surface coating
- Deburring notes
Intelligent Validation Rules
- If sheet metal → validate bend table and flat pattern
- If machined part → validate GD&T and machining notes
- If tapped hole → verify thread callout and note
- If assembly → check BOM completeness and ballooning
Template-Driven Checking
- Company-specific drawing templates
- Standard-based outputs (ISO / ASME)
- Customer-specific design rules
Auto-Update Capability
- QC re-validation triggered automatically on model changes
- Live error reporting and rule violation tracking
Automated QC Reports
- Pass / fail status for each rule
- Highlighted non-compliant features
- Rule-wise error summary
- PDF / Excel / CSV QC reports
Visual Feedback
- On-screen highlighting of problem areas
- Direct navigation to failed features or annotations
- QC validation before PLM release
- Block release if critical rules fail
- Auto-status update (Pass / Conditional / Fail)
- Revision-wise QC traceability
- Audit-ready documentation
CAD Platforms
- Creo Parametric (ModelCHECK, Toolkit, Drawing APIs)
- SolidWorks (API-based validation, DriveWorks rules)
- NX (NX Open, PMI validation)
- Autodesk Inventor (iLogic-based QC rules)
PLM Systems
- Teamcenter
- Windchill
- Eliminates manual QC effort
- Ensures 100% compliance with company standards
- Reduces manufacturing errors and rework
- Improves first-time-right design quality
- Accelerates release and approval cycles
- Scales quality checks across large part volumes
