Seco Component Guidance Provides Tailored Tooling Recommendations



Seco Component Guidance allows customers to upload 3D part models and receive instant tool recommendations tailored to their specific needs. A web-based application, this new tool performs complex calculations in the cloud, enabling quick access and results without requiring a powerful PC.

Seco Component Guidance uses advanced feature detection technology to analyze user-uploaded 3D part models. The application automatically identifies pockets, holes, edges, and other part features, then provides tooling recommendations catered to the part's specific design.

"Component Guidance is a powerful tool that takes full advantage of the latest in technology," said Seco Product Manager Erik Ekqvist. "The software can significantly streamline the procurement process. It will also prove a valuable tool in ensuring estimate accuracy, as manufacturers bidding on a new part can very quickly determine the associated tooling needs and costs."

When determining tooling recommendations, Seco Component Guidance automatically identifies opportunities to produce multiple features with the same tool. Plus, the system takes a user's purchasing history into account, allowing it to minimize costs by giving precedence to tools that are already on hand.
