Red Bull Racing

From Virtual to Real in One Huge Adrenalin Rush

NX and Teamcenter are the digital backbone for a 600-strong team focused on strength, speed and spirit

PLM Solutions

Red Bull Racing's development process has to be as swift and precise as these amazing vehicles and the company rely on NX  software for CAD/CAM/CAE and Teamcenter software to capture and manage knowledge. It is a creative and collaborative, virtual world from which the real, live car emerges almost fully formed and ready to be put to the test on the track. "We call it our digital backbone," says Nevey. "NX and Teamcenter sit at the heart of the company and they feed data to our manufacturing facilities; we could not manage without them." Read the Complete Case Study

  

Opportunity Favors Preparedness

Automotive OEMs slated for a mid-year upgrade to NX 7.5 

nx7.5

 

As of today, GM, Chrysler, and Nissan are all on record regarding the switch to NX7.5.  Recently Chrysler added NX  as their comprehensive digital product development solution to help provide efficiency gains in engineering and design and to help create a common product development platform. 

 

Don't wait to the last second!  Let CAM Logic apply its 15 years of Siemens PLM Automotive experience and put it to work for you. Contact us today for more information on how we can be of value.

PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT- ShapeGrabber ai Series

Automated 3D Scanner 

Speed, Accuracy, Ease of Use and Complete Coverage of 3D Inspection

 

Shapegrabber ai310ShapeGrabber's Ai Series automated 3D laser scanners can bring speed, accuracy, ease-of-use and complete coverage to 3D laser inspection systems. Using multiple motion axes, our laser scanners eliminate the need for software alignment and registration and ensure fast, accurate results. Our automated laser scanning solutions are ideal for situations in which speed and ease of use are important.inspection file

 

Fast, accurate scanning enables manufacturers to improve product quality and compliance without slowing down production. With a ShapeGrabber laser scanner, there is no need to write special code to scan each object. And, it is fast and simple to scan the object without complicated, time consuming orientation and alignment processes. Our laser scanning systems yield a significant reduction in the time required to completely scan a shape, leading to a reduction in the cost associated with executing the job. 

 

ShapeGrabber Ai310 The Ai310 is ideal for scanning small to medium complex shaped parts where speed, complete coverage and ease-of-use are important.

 

ShapeGrabber Ai810 The Ai810 3D laser inspection system is designed to quickly scan parts that vary in size.
