SBS is a shape-based search technology which provides a unique and highly productive solution to the data proliferation problems found among major manufacturers today.
Using our powerful shape similarity algorithm, SBS enables manufacturers to reduce part proliferation and save operating costs. This goal is achieved by locating and cleaning proliferated parts, aggregating part data to make easy vendor and sourcing decisions, organizing data, and encouraging engineering data re-use.
Shape-based search is nameless. Spelling, language, and file naming rules are not required. The technology of SBS is simply the most ubiquitous, accurate, and intuitive search key for product data. SBS will enhance your product development process by enabling part and product similarity analysis throughout the company.
It’s faster to just design a new part rather than search for the part.
Many new products are designed using the 3D models of existing products as a starting point; reusing and adapting pre-existing parts. The emerging technology of 3D geometric search fits into a company’s process best when the designer needs more than a text search to find a needed model.

Design reuse. The idea is simple. Take past designs and repurpose them into new ones. The benefit? Starting with an already completed design allows engineers to avoid starting from scratch.
