Improving Validation for 2D & 3D CAD Data
Abstract
CAD data is constantly being changed, translated, and shared. It's
important to track these changes, validate that only what is meant
to be changed gets changed, and that every derivative matches
the original data. Many companies validate data manually. It's
difficult, however, to catch every change and it takes time. This
process is cumbersome and inconsistent, not to mention unreliable
and in fact risky. Many companies, however, recognized these
issues and found a better way to stay ahead of the process. Come
join Elysium as we discuss how companies have implemented an
automatic, customizable, high fidelity validation process for 2D and
3D CAD data that has saved time and given confidence in their
data.

Typical Change Process Today
18ENGINEERINGCHANGENOTICE – COSTIMPROVEMENTS
Hanging Paper: the process of
defining and approving a change,
but not incorporating it into the
documentation. Instead, defining
the product definition as “This
Drawing/Model plus this
unincorporated but approved
change.”

• Design error not caught until testing
TTP Mistake
• MBOM Definition
• Material not available
• Work Instruction error
• Tool design error
Safety
• End user safety issue
• Manufacturing production process issue

Engineering Change Process
Starts when ECR is created
“Scoper” is assigned to determine justification and the scope of the request
ECN “Scoper”(title may vary)
A person who identifies all things affected by an ECR
Plans all aspects of the request change and presents to ECB
After approval, initiates and supports TTP to incorporate the ECN

Change Incorporation
The process of scoping and planning and executing an ECN

Management positions that authorize a change to be incorporated
Usually comprised of Design Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Operations Planning, QC, CM and Procurement leads.
May include Logistics, Tech data, others as required and determined by the ECN “Scoper”
