Enhanced Collaboration in Engineering Design through Cross-Platform CAD Integration ID: 2015-025

A groundbreaking system enabling real-time, multi-user editing and viewing of CAD drawings across different CAD platforms.

Technology Overview

This invention introduces a novel system for enhancing collaboration in engineering design by allowing multiple users to simultaneously view and edit two-dimensional CAD drawings, regardless of the CAD system they are using. It facilitates real-time updates to CAD drawing files, effectively overcoming the limitations of existing technologies that confine collaborative efforts to users within the same CAD system. This innovation significantly improves planning, innovation, and reduces the potential for errors in manufacturing processes.

Key Advantages

• Enables real-time, simultaneous editing and viewing of CAD drawings across different platforms
• Removes the necessity for collaborators to use the same CAD system, broadening the scope of collaborative design processes
• Significantly reduces potential errors in manufacturing processes by improving planning and innovation
• Facilitates effective coordination between firms and manufacturers using different CAD systems

Problems Addressed

• Lack of cross-platform interoperability in existing CAD collaboration solutions
• Limitations in collaborative engineering design processes due to system incompatibilities
• Increased potential for errors in manufacturing processes due to inadequate planning and coordination

• Engineering firms requiring collaborative design and planning across multiple CAD systems
• Manufacturers coordinating with external design teams using disparate CAD platforms
• Academic institutions and research organizations involved in multi-disciplinary
