Tacton Systems and Animech Technologies Launch TCdim3nsion for 3D Product Configuration
Tacton Systems and Animech Technologies are deepening their cooperation within 3D product configuration and are now launching TCdim3nsionT (Tacton Configurator Dimension), an add-on to the Tacton Configurator. The product, which has been developed by Animech, will be patented and sold by Tacton Systems with technical support from Animech.
TCdim3nsionT is a further development of the earlier 3D software aniPart, now fully configured to work as a standard solution in the Tacton Configurator. With this solution, a sales representative can visually configure 3D drawings and product-specific flow charts in front of the customer. A complete and exact list of components is created automatically and integrated with the company's PDM and ERP systems. This can save months of time for the sales specialist when it comes to defining the specified product, and reduces the time for the manufactured product to reach the customer.
"Together with Tacton, Animech can now offer a unique solution for visual configuration of complex products," says Björn Berg, General Manager for Animech technologies. "This deal confirms the cooperation that has grown over the past few years through successful customer projects."
The solution is used today by a range of customers including GE Healthcare, who confirm that the tool has given them a head start in the market ahead of the competition, while considerably reducing costs and project times.
"This fits perfectly into our strategy for the Tacton Configurator; a powerful all-in-one solution for both 3D visualization and 3D configuration," says Christer Wallberg, Managing Director for Tacton Systems. "The cooperation with Animech makes it possible to deliver customer satisfaction across the board where valuable 3D CAD data is used to support the sales process."
