CAD Integration
The "CAD Integration" Module from Babtec
Computer-aided design applications (CAD for short) are standard in many manufacturing companies. CAD software helps design products and simulate their behavior in a wide variety of application situations. With our software solution, you automatically stamp the drawing dimensions and use the resulting data in a time-efficient and -effective way to improve the quality of the products.

More Efficiency with 3D CAD Models
Source of 3D model: National Institute of Standards and Technology
Increase the effectiveness of your quality management by using not only two-dimensional drawings but also 3D CAD models directly in the Babtec Software. This saves you the time-consuming task of deriving 2D drawings from your 3D models. During import, additional product specifications in the form of Product Manufacturing Information (PMI) are recognized and processed directly. The extracted drawing dimensions can be provided without media discontinuity to other modules of the Babtec Software, for example as part of an FMEA or Part Approval Process
Create Inspection Data from CAD Drawings
Drawing information are an essential component of quality inspections: with our CAD integration, you can convert product characteristics and dimensions from CAD drawings into quality-relevant inspection data for inspection planning at the push of a button. If the drawings are available in a standardized CAD exchange format (2D DXF, DWG format), inspection characteristics with their characteristic name, drawing dimension and the upper as well as the lower nominal limits can be generated directly from the drawing data. Our automatic detection of drawing dimension also analyzes any text information contained in a PDF file that you could also mark up using a PDF reader. In this way, dimension texts are reliably recognized and prepared as processable drawing dimensions – and without additional OCR software.
Compare CAD Drawing Versions
The function “Drawing Dimension Comparison” provides an assistant that enables the comparison of different drawing statuses. It guides you through 7 steps in which you can edit unchanged, moved, changed, omitted and added dimensions. In each step information is available, which explains what happens in this step and how the available tools work. Since the assistant supports you in all steps of the comparison, you get an optimal comparison result with just a few clicks.
Your Advantages at a Glance

Would You Prefer a Brief Insight?
Then take a look at our webcast on the topic of CAD integration! You will receive initial information from our quality experts Lars van Straelen and Daniel von Sondern.
In this webcast, our experts show you how you can easily create your own drawing folders and define layouts, stamp your drawings effectively, create a production inspection plan and adapt and release the drawing at any time with the help of the CAD integration within our software.
