The engineering tool simplifies the 3D design of equipment, assemblies and frames with rule-based functions. Components from the MB Building Kit System and Lean Production Building Kit System from Item are available for selection. With the update, the intelligent online tool has been expanded to include many new functions. For example, users can choose between different views of their design and change the perspective at any time. The viewing angle can be set easily and precisely using a 3D cube at the edge of the screen.

The new list display in the catalog is also user-friendly and clear. The effects of the product filters are immediately apparent and technical data is easier to compare. This makes it much quicker for the user to find the right product. Frames with roller conveyors can now be adapted during the design process, as the alignment of the side plates can be selected to the right or left.

Suitable angles and an activated origin
For designs with joints, ball connectors and roller conveyors, the engineering tool automatically sets the appropriate angles. While users have to define the angle themselves in CAD systems, for example, they place the corresponding profiles in the item engineering tool and drag them to the target point using a control element. The program automatically specifies the correct angle and the required profile length.

A fixed zero point can be defined in the new version in order to perfectly align all components of a construction. This enables unambiguous coordinate dimensioning.

The engineering tool is continuously revised and expanded to meet the requirements of designers and planners. The user automatically accesses the new functions - a manual update of the software is therefore not necessary. The changelog provides an overview of all changes and further developments. It is displayed automatically as soon as information on updates is available. Short videos in the online help show how to use the program and provide support for project planning, administration, documentation and CAD output through to ordering via the shopping cart.
