DCS Introduces 3DCS Design Variation Modeler

Upgrade Excel Tolerance Stacks with 3DCS DVM, an easy to use 3D tolerance analysis tool fully integrated into your CAD platform. Get real answers, save valuable time, and expand quality throughout your organization. 3DCS DVM (Design Variation Modeler) is an entry-level equation-based 3D assembly GD&T prediction tool integrated in the major CAD Platforms.  

As an easy-to-use tool, 3DCS DVM is built around using a single multi-purpose 'move' to assemble products, and analyze in three dimensions. Utilizing CAD PMI to quickly build models by extracting GD&T, Moves, and Measures straight from the CAD, DVM makes modeling quick and efficient, helping users get answers they need. 

Excel tolerance stacks can be helpful to get answers quickly. However, as soon as the stack includes more than a few parts, includes 3 dimensional variation, or even 2 dimensional variation, the task becomes long and time consuming. Then, when changes are made, the tolerance stack needs to be redone from the beginning.

DVM solves these problems by making initial stacks quick to build, including 2D and 3D variation, and most importantly, allowing for instant updates from design changes to see the new results.
