Shaped Machine and Equipment Designer – MQS

Finding ways to reduce design-to-manufacturing cycles is a key priority for industrial companies. The required solution must be highly productive and flexible, fostering collaboration even in a wide geographical context and allowing design changes with controlled impacts.

Shaped Machine and Equipment Designer provides users with world-class tools to design simple to highly sophisticated & advanced surfaces machine & equipments.

Users can create any 3D part and assembly, with data exchange and coexistence with other systems. Real-time Collaboration allows teams to work together, regardless of location. A full suite of powerful functions allows defining components with custom behaviors and supports engineering connections and mechanism animation, also including tubing and piping, sheetmetal and welding capabilities.

This role allows the users to create high-quality & complex mechanical shapes with a robust feature-based approach. Dedicated functionalities are proposed to simplify, accelerate & check surface designs, and increase efficiency on repetitive and very tedious manual tasks.
