As a rapid prototyping company, RSM wanted to smoothen a portion of their work0low. A quick identi0ication of key features of a model provided by a prospective client could help them speed up their prototypepricing process. As a result, RSM could cut costs associated with assessment of prospective client’s needs.

A software that is easily accessible to their clients via RSM website was developed by AMCBridge. With just a click of a button, any client is able to upload their drawing and have its key features (holes, pierces, perimeter, etc) accurately calculated.

AMC created a web application that parses and interrogates a 2D DXF 0ile to generate an image with key features of the part. The software calculates Y extent, X extent, total cut length, as well as the number of internal features of the model with high accuracy. All calculated values and a thumbnail image are displayed on a webpage.

There were a few challenges associated with development of this software. Firstly, SolidWorks models have “open contours” and “closed contours”. RSM wanted our software to identify only closed contours and 0lag open contours as an error. RSM was also concerned about how quicklyunsupported entity types are identi0ied.

Our software successfully addressed both issues. If any open contours orunsupported entities are found,the software highlights them and calculates exact number of such issues. You can check out this application on RSM’s website. You can check out this application on RSM’s website.

By automating the quote generation process and placing it online, AMC helped RSM significantly reduce time and human capital spent on pricing requests of its clients.RSM was content with quality, implementation speed and expertise provided by AMC Bridge.
