What is Hacadly 3D Design Verification?

Automatically analyzes CAD data and instantly detects anything that conflicts with your design rules or manufacturing requirements.
From individual sheet metal and machined parts through to assembly interference and assemblability, it streamlines how design data gets checked.

Facing These Challenges?

1

Checking takes too long

Engineers inspect geometry, dimensions, machining conditions and in-house standards one by one by eye, which eats into the time left for actual design work.

2

Rework caused by missed checks

Manual checking can never catch everything, so problems surface only after drawing release or once production has started.

3

Judgment depends on veteran engineers

Much of the judgment is tacit knowledge that never made it into the standards, so check quality varies from one engineer to the next.

Hacadly solves these challenges.

Features

Design rule checks for individual parts

Automatically checks the manufacturing limits of individual parts such as sheet metal and machined components, directly from 3D CAD geometry. A broad rule set is covered as standard, and rules can be customized to your own in-house criteria.

Function and assemblability checks for assemblies

Analyzes 3D CAD assembly data to verify issues that appear during assembly, including interference between parts, clearances, and the distance between welds and holes.

Set up and customize rules yourself

Supports separate rule sets per department or supplier. Threshold values can be adjusted and your own original rules added.
iCAD SX SOLIDWORKS + Other CAD systems and custom environments supported

Ready to use as an add-in to your CAD

Installed as an add-in to your existing CAD environment, so checks run inside the design workflow your engineers already use.

Real-time detection that highlights every issue

Violations are highlighted on the 3D model the instant they are found, together with the rule applied and the reasoning behind the result.

Runs in an on-premises environment

Confidential design data never leaves your company. Everything runs securely inside your own environment.

Results

Checking time cut by 30%, with ROI above 300%

Industrial machinery manufacturer / Approx. 30 design engineers

Automating repetitive routine checks freed engineers to concentrate on the design decisions that matter.

Rework from design errors cut by 60%

Factory automation equipment manufacturer / 5 design engineers

Detecting inconsistencies at the design stage curbed rework, delivering cost savings of several million yen a year.

How It Works

STEP1

Discovery interview

We review your target products, CAD environment, current checking process, design rules and the rework you are seeing today.

STEP2

Scoping rules and target work

Weighing impact against feasibility, we select the parts, assemblies and check items to automate first.

STEP3

Validation with sample data

Using your own CAD data and check rules, we validate detection accuracy and the effect on day-to-day work.

STEP4

Rule implementation and setup

We tune the rules based on the validation results and build out the environment: CAD add-in, servers and access permissions.

STEP5

Rollout and continuous improvement

You start using it in production work, and we keep adding target parts, assemblies and check rules as operation progresses.

We will show you where your design checks can be automated first

We start from your current checking process and design rules, then propose which work is best suited to automation and how to introduce it.

Feel free to get in touch even at an early stage, whether you want to confirm that your own design standards can be supported, validate the tool on real CAD data, or discuss checks for part interference and assemblability.
