Multi Metrics will launch e-GAD™, its new, multilingual, web-based software suite which streamlines and supports Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing in the global marketplace, at IMTS 2006.
Menlo Park, CA (July 26, 2006) - Multi Metrics, Inc., a leading global provider of Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing (GD&T) software and services, announced today that it will be launching e-GAD™ Software at the 2006 International Manufacturing Technology Show (IMTS) in Chicago in , Illinois September 6-13, 2006. e-GAD stands for ";Electronic GD&T Aided Design". With e-GAD Software, Multi Metrics' customers can manage and streamline the application and use of GD&T within their operations and throughout their supply chains. Powered by Multi Metrics' SmartGD&T™ Technology, e-GAD Software delivers on-demand, self-guided technical support and just-in-time training.
SmartGD&T Technology is Multi Metrics' rule based, process driven approach to managing GD&T. In addition to enhancing the ability of users to unambiguously communicate design intent to manufacturing and quality assurance, SmartGD&T Technology also empowers users to research and refine their designs to make them worth communicating in the first place.
By making these refined tools and processes instantly and globally available to corporate users and their suppliers, e-GAD Software makes it possible to truly benefit from GD&T. In particular, e-GAD Software accelerates new product ramp-up, by making it possible to ";get it right the first time", namely define truly functional parts in the design phase. Furthermore, e-GAD Software
reduces time lost ";explaining" design intent, not only because the GD&T code is so reliable, but because explanations of the code are instantly and globally available. As a result, e-GAD Software also eases the process of bringing on new suppliers. Finally, e-GAD Software reduces manufacturing costs by encouraging fault tolerant designs with maximized tolerances, and by simplifying Tolerance Stack-Up Analysis to guarantee the assemblability of in-tolerance mating parts. In short, e-GAD Software is an integrating force for significant cost reductions in the disintegrated world of global manufacturing.
";In essence, Multi Metrics breaks down the barriers that have historically kept companies from realizing the promise of GD&T,"; said Bill Tandler, Multi Metrics Founder and President. ";No longer do companies have to suffer from the costly impact of ";misinterpreting"; machine part drawings. e-GAD, powered by SmartGD&T, delivers critical technical guidance and training at the point of need, enabling designers to 'encode' GD&T, and manufacturers and inspectors to 'decode' GD&T reliably, thus cutting time to market and demonstrably reducing manufacturing cost."
