xDefine

xDefine defines, organizes, and communicates manufacturing specifications directly in 3D. This can reduce mistakes, and automate downstream productions such as manufacturing and inspections.

The key features of the app are to define, organize, and communicate 3D annotations. It provides access to MBD and 2D drawing environments. It is a dashboard app and you can access it from the Compass.

xDefine provides the following key capabilities:

  • Save time by automating manufacturing procedures.
  • Reduce 2D drawing confusion and ambiguity.
  • Save time in maintaining 2D drawings.
  • Reduce scrap and rework because of confusion.
  • Reduce support calls to the engineering team.
  • Accelerate time to market.
  • Cloud-based with no software to install, configure, or manage. You are always working with the latest version.
  • Works in desktop and touch based devices.
