3YOURMIND releases LTS 24.12 update with enhanced 2D drawing analysis powered by AI

3YOURMIND, Berlin, Germany, has announced the release of LTS 24.12. As well as all of the features from the last update, LTS 24.12 features a newly enhanced 2D drawing analysis, now powered by AI, and integration with Meltio’s wire-laser Additive Manufacturing technology (available in Part Identification).

AI-based 2D drawing analysis

For most legacy machines, 2D drawings are the only technical data available, explains 3YOURMIND. Even if 3D models exist, 2D drawings are often the source of truth for critical data points (e.g. material). Organisations can have hundreds of thousands of 2D drawings, but as manual analysis is labour-intensive, only a tiny percentage can be considered.

This led 3YOURMIND to decide on AI-based analysis for its software, covering hundreds of 2D drawing formats and supporting customer-specific data at high-security standards.

The updated software is said to extract more data from 2D drawings with improved accuracy and is now fully customisable with a trainable AI engine. This allows users to identify which parts are technically feasible and for which production technology. The software then automatically gives a price estimate based on actual market averages.

Using the scaled 2D drawings to identify parts, users can digitise legacy equipment and identify more ports whilst adhering to high security regulations (e.g. ITAR compliance.)

Integration With PTC Creo Empowers Engineers

3YOURMIND Part Identification is now fully integrated with PTC Creo, meaning users no longer need to work in both software to pull information from PTC Creo into 3YOURMIND. Now, part analysis and manufacturability checks can be performed directly via the CREO CAD software. This will offer designers guidance on Additive Manufacturing design features, including thin walls, overhang limitations, as well as hole and build orientation.

Through the partnership, users can send .prt and .asm files directly from Creo to Part Identification, automatically extracting metadata (e.g. part name, description, revision, department, assembly details, tolerances, and sizes) and receiving assessments of which AM technology best suits their designs.

Supporting wire-laser Additive Manufacturing

The new technology framework allows platform administrators to add, edit, or remove technologies. This framework is intended to simplify the linking of cost and lead-time scripts, enabling precise tuning for specific technologies.

Meltio’s wire-laser Additive Manufacturing technology is the latest addition in Part Identification. More technologies will be added incrementally.

Other updates

The LTS 24.12 features advanced prioritisation tools to better enable on-time production for urgent orders. The software’s IoT connectivity now also supports Trumpf Additive Manufacturing machines, supporting fully digitised shop floors.

As well as new enhanced-security login, other framework-based improvements have also been made to the software.

LTS 24.12 is now available for 3YOURMIND’s enterprise on-premise and AWS GovCloud customers.
