What are the file formats you support? .STL (both Binary and ASCII types) is the standard file type that we support. We are also in the process of adding .STP/STEP file support to our standard supported file type list.
The optional file conversion module currently handles the following file types:
Native CAD Formats
Geometric Modeling Kernel CAD Formats
The Authentise model libraries enable users to build personal and public repositories of three-dimensional models of parts. The libraries are categorised into 3 types:
In 'My library' , users are offered a personal library. This library can only be accessed by the logged in user.
In the company library, all logged in users can view and access the uploaded files. However, there are some restrictions to non-administrator users. Changes to the part file in this library can only be made by users with administrative permissions.
The Product is a new level of Order Information within the Order module primarily made from one or more Assemblies. An Order may have one or more Products in it and because the detailed constituents of a Product may vary greatly, their layers are also described below.
Product (new): A collection of items that need to be separately manufactured, then potentially assembled together, to be shipped together as a final product from manufacturing. This may consist of multiple objects, using multiple manufacturing workflows.
Assembly (new): a collection of Line Items (and therefore, Pieces) or sub-Assemblies that need to be assembled into a single physical object. This may also be the final physical object.
Line item (existing): a unique geometry and set of parameters for manufacturing it. Possible to produce multiple times. Each instance of the Line Item that is manufactured is a Piece.
Assembly Item (existing): An alias for Line-Items…
Vendor management is a half star (implementation not complete). We can currently track and assign third parties (for materials you don't do in house , for example, or post processing that is requested but completed by somebody else), the near term plan is add interfaces for third parties to see what the job is, provide alerts and communication that interacts seamlessly with MES. Have any other ideas? Comment!
Welcome! Have a look around and join the conversations.
