WATCH: What is OSCAR?
“What we’re doing is organizing consistent messaging around Model-Based Definition that can be pragmatically applied today.” Jennifer Herron “I wanted to bring Model-Based Definition within reach – and that means for anyone. Not only big, global companies, but also the smaller supply chains who are building all the parts and assemblies for those large global […]
CAD Interoperability and the OSCAR CAD Toolkit
In most cases, a “Model-Based Enterprise” is going to include multiple CAD platforms. You could be a large corporation that uses multiple CAD applications or a smaller company that only uses one but has suppliers that use other CAD platforms. This reality means CAD interoperability challenges cannot be ignored. While each CAD system has strengths and weaknesses, the big five are capable of: modeling geometry, creating 3D annotations, defining attributes (metadata), and creating “presentation states.” We […]
