Creating placeholder models for tools and workpieces is very technical intuitive.

The challenge

Designing fixtures or layouts often requires reference models for tools and workpieces, but detailed CAD data isn't always available. Recreating complex parts just to plan a setup can waste valuable time.

Design automation

The Part Sketcher App provides an intuitive workspace for building simplified placeholders using sketching and shape tools. By arranging and merging basic geometries, users can represent the essential form of a part or tool in minutes.

The result

A quick, browser-based way to generate placeholder models that capture only what’s needed – ideal for planning, visualization, or use in other Additive App Suite apps for further processing.
