Close the gap between design and quality with the InspectionSuite for Siemens NX. Automatically define and extract inspection features from 2D drawings or 3D PMI-models and generate error-free PPAP/first-article reports at the push of a button in various formats . Integrate directly with PLM/CAQ systems and reduce document preparation time by up to 90 %.
It supports feature extraction from traditional 2D drawings and directly from 3D models that use Model-Based Definition (MBD) or Product and Manufacturing Information (PMI). This allows the tool to work seamlessly regardless of your company's design standard.
This feature uses customizable logical rules to automatically balloon and classify inspection features, enabling fast and reliable identification of required characteristics. The result is a higher level of automation, reduced manual work, and more efficient inspection preparation.
It closes the loop between design and manufacturing by providing a direct interface to Siemens NX CMM. This allows inspection features to be automatically transferred from the 3D model to the CMM programming environment, streamlining the creation of measuring machine programs.
The software provides exceptional data exchange flexibility, outputting inspection information in numerous formats including PDF, 3D PDF, Excel, CSV, Q-DAS, XML, and more. This broad compatibility ensures seamless integration across your entire downstream process chain.
The software includes a revision compare feature that allows you to accurately track and document all design changes throughout your product's lifecycle. These documented changes are provided in neutral output formats: PDF (for drawings) and 3D PDF (for 3D models with PMI).
MACO closed the gap between design and quality by automating inspection documents, creating a seamless CAD–QA process that improved part quality, reduced costs, and strengthened innovation leadership.
