The Geometric search (3D) can be used for a text-independent search or in addition to a full-text search, especially when searching company parts, for non-classified parts or parts which are not registered in the ERP/PDM. Due to its precision is will find a needle in the haystack.
The Geometric search (3D) can be used ...
... at missing textual information or classification (especially company parts)
... if no adequate search term is known (possibly little expert knowledge)
... during modelling in order to avoid the creation of duplicates
-
... to compare supplier and company parts
