3DEXPERIENCE is full of jewels and let's have a look on a few of them, CATIA Reverse Engineering, DELMIA Powder Bed 3D printer Programming and DELMIA NC Programming.
The challenge is the following: a metal part is broken and you need to replace it as quickly as possible. But you don't have any CAD model of it, neither drawings. You just have... the broken part.
What if:
You could scan the broken part: that's cheap and fast today
Reconstruct the CAD model from the scan data very quickly and accurately: that's exactly what 3DEXPERIENCE CATIA Role Reverse Engineer does
3D print it to get the near net shape (that's the goal of the 3DEXPERENCE DELMIA Powder Bed Machine Programmer Role)
Surface finish the functional areas of the part (holes, mechanical interfaces) with one the 3DEXPERIENCE DELMIA NC Programming Roles (i.e. Machining) to get the finished part, ship it and replace the broken one to ensure a full continuity of the service this part was involved in.
Good news: this can be done today with the 3DEXPERIENCE in just a couple of hours....
You want to know more about it? Just attend this 24th CATIA Jewel Talk on the 2nd of September 2025 at 3:00pm CET (Paris time) and as usual I’ll be happy to answer live to all your questions.
