How Logik.io Powers CAD Automation and Real-Time Product Visualizations

Manufacturers use CPQ to configure their product offerings into organized solutions for both their customers and their manufacturing teams, but the transfer of the configured solution to manufacturing instructions in the form of CAD outputs has often required manual review and data inputs. 

Companies are losing time by replicating the data in their CAD systems by hand, and losing money due to errors that arise from conflicting requests and result in unhappy customers. 

Logik.io CAD Automation and Visualization, powered by kBridge gives manufacturers a solution to these challenges, offering automated CAD drawing and visual creation while configuring for speed and accuracy from sales to manufacturing. 

How could Logik.io CAD Automation & Visualization support my business?

Logik.io CAD Automation & Visualization enables you to display accurate visuals and ensure compatibility when configuring complex manufacturing products and solutions.

Our CAD Automation & Visualization capabilities enable you to guide customers to perfect-fit solutions by adding a dynamic and accurate visual element within Logik.io. It also improves cross-functional efficiency by automatically generating CAD outputs to manufacturing systems without any manual entry required. 

Logik.io CAD Automation & Visualization Capabilities include:

• Visualization: Dynamic, high-quality 3D visual representations of configured products updating in real time within the Logik.io interface.
• Interactivity: Drag and drop, snap-in-place, geometric selection, sketching, and other graphically interactive capabilities easily convey requirements in an understandable manner.
• Rendering: Incorporation of materials, textures, lighting, backdrops and immersive environments for full rendering capability – in real time.
• Drawings: Automated creation of fully custom, scaled drawings directly from kBridge in the Logik.io UI, with no link to CAD required.
• CAD Output: Automatically generated CAD output in Inventor, SolidWorks, AutoCAD, and Revit from configuration product data.
• Bi-directional Integration: Updates to configuration inputs automatically reflected in visuals, while updates to CAD will reflect in Logik.io configurations.
