Visualization VSA
Manufacturers spend millions of dollars every year on product quality issues such as parts not fitting together properly, scrap and rework. Variation causes a large percentage of expensive and time-consuming build problems and engineering changes. These problems can be avoided by using Visualization VSA and a well-defined Quality Management or Six Sigma process. Visualization VSA is a powerful dimensional analysis tool used to simulate manufacturing and assembly processes and predict the amounts and causes of variation. Visualization VSA can help reduce the negative impact of variation on product dimensional quality, cost and time to market. With Visualization VSA, a 3D digital prototype is created to simulate the production build process. The digital prototype includes a comprehensive representation of geometry, product variation (tolerances), assembly process variation (sequence, assembly attachment definition, tooling) and measurements. The model is used to predict if there will be any assembly build problems -- before any physical parts are made or tooling is cut. It also identifies the root causes of the build problems and enables the design, tolerances and assembly process to be optimized very early in the product development process.
