AI based CAD Designer
Any manufacturer wants to be able to streamline their production by reusing existing parts for new products and items. New products are often highly customized, based on unique client requirements, however, they still share some of the structure and items with already existing products in your product database. Today, many design teams search for these parts manually – a trivial, inefficient yet necessary task.
With our Automatic CAD Designer, we provide AI-powered features, automating these non-value adding activities. Utilizing these features provides your engineers the best conditions for standardizing engineering design work. Furthermore, the increased reuse of existing parts for new products and items becomes much easier with the Automatic CAD Designer improving efficiency in the design phase.
Key Benefits
Automate CAD design and product configuration tasks
Generating CAD models from rule-based configuration selections and automating task of applying BOM changes to the model in CAD, rid design engineers of tedious tasks and make them more efficient.
Reuse product designs to empower engineering
Using AI lets you reuse released items and structures during product development mitigating time spent on re-creating and approving products from scratch.
Minimize trivial engineering tasks
Reduces repetitive work and streamline engineering processes, while engineers can spend less time performing monotonous but necessary design tasks in CAD.
Reduce errors
By reusing parts and items already approved by the engineering team, you can avoid the critical and time-consuming approval phases that new developed parts and items must go through. This reduces errors and saves you time and money.
Utilize ERP data in your CAD environment
On-demand access to ERP data in CAD lets design engineers easily incorporate transactions, on-hand quantities, pricing and more into product development for more efficiency and less errors.
Speed up time-to-market
Achieve reliable and real-time product data flow between engineering in CAD and the supply chain in ERP, with full historic traceability on all product changes up till the latest version, maximizing efficiency and reducing time-to-market.

Discover the ‘Automatic CAD Designer’ Product Sheet
Download the product sheet to learn about Bluestar PLM’s Automatic CAD Designer, an advanced add-in tool for CAD solutions. Enhance efficiency, reduce mistakes, and focus on innovative design processes. Fully integrated with Bluestar PLM embedded in Dynamics 365 F&SCM, allows easy searching and reuse of existing product data by parameters like classifications, attributes, item relations, and geometric similarities.
Key Features
Automatic mating by geometric position
Based on mate rules and attributes, the tool uses AI to identify and automatically insert parts into a CAD model. These parts are inserted to the known location based on where it has previously been located in other product designs.
Identifies designs
Reveals which of your existing product designs in your database that holds the specific item, when you insert this item into a new CAD model.
Search ERP data in CAD based on geometric similarity
Gives you an overview of all parts that have similar geometric properties and bounding box with any item selected in CAD.
Search ERP data in CAD based classification
Initiate a structured search for items, according to given product classes. Narrows down a search, making it easy to reuse certain structures and assemblies from your existing designs.
Search ERP data in CAD based attributes
Search by defining different attributes in values, intervals (≥), for instance, you want to narrow your search for a specific height to a specific part.
BOM tree display
Displays the entire BOM structure and each line from top to bottom level, as well as revision count, quantities, approval status and more.
BOM builder
Create an assembly model by mating together and positioning existing items, to build a BOM in a hierarchical structure that can be automatically generated as a CAD model and transferred into ERP.
- Intuitively drag-and-drop items into the BOM structure to adjust item positions and placement.
- Transform the created BOM structure into its 3D CAD model counterpart.
- Build 150% BOMs with a full list of all configuration options to choose from. Automatically insert the selected Master-BOM into CAD.
- Seamlessly check in the BOM structure into ERP for further BOM management and release to production.
