Strategies for improving the quality of transferred 3D models in the context of the tool industry

Due to the increasing digitalisation, the availability of high-quality data is gaining in importance. However, nowadays suppliers of technical products have a lot of work to do to provide all necessary information for electronic purchasing, technical documentation or as input for the digital factory of their customers. A fundamental problem is the exchange of 3D CAD data. Studies show that by crossing system borders with neutral data formats, information is often distorted or even lost. Starting from these findings the respective causes can be identified and strategies to increase data quality can be developed.
