Dear Odoo Community



We are a machine shop, and we manufacture various items to our customers needs. We do alot of different operations mainly on metals (steel, aluminium), like sawing, bending, cutting etc.

A big part of our daily operation consists of drawing a 3D-model with Fusion360 of the desired product and exporting various files (dxf,dwg,pdf) to load/import to Odoo for manufacturings different needs.



We would like to develop our operation so, that we could better utilize the 3D-model/CAD-file which already has all the necessary information. End goal would be, that we could import the CAD-file straight to Odoo, perhaps via a 3rd party program and get the necessary manufacturing information without exporting the different files one by one. Our preferred file format to work with, would be IGES or STEP.



Does Odoo have a functionality to achieve something like this, or does anybody know a 3rd party solution to implement (via API perhaps)? Any help is greatly appreciated.



- Best regards

Hello!



Thank you for the informative and helpful comments. We will further investigate codecpq and reflect on the criteria we have for our project. I would like to emphasize the aspect that I now in hindsight think, propably did not come through completely in my first post.


What we would like to achieve is, that our Odoo-system would end up with the information that the CAD file contains. As we understand it, this could be achieved with prosessing the CAD file with the appropriate software and sending/saving the acquired information to Odoo. This way, Odoo would end up with the information from the CAD file. The information we mainly need is geometric information, a geometric analysis or interpretation of the CAD file and its content.


I think this principle could be expressed with terms ”Recognizing manufacturing operations” or ”Manufacturability analysis”.


Simply viewing the file via another software would not suffice in our situation, if it does not actually save the automatically acquired geometric information directly to Odoo. Our goal is also to keep the process as open as possible, meaning that anyone could send an IGES or STEP file to us and our system would process the file (not limiting our system to only certain CAD file formats like .PRT or .SLDPRT). Although support for as many CAD file format as possible, is certainly a plus.


I hope this clarifies what we are trying to achieve, and many thanks for the help we have already received. All ideas are certainly welcome.

Hi Juhani,

You can refer to the website and their demonstration section where they discuss the CAD implementation using python FreeCAD.

We have a few ideas on this topic, which is also on our agenda. 

We currently use a drawing management program (ProFile) that is directly embedded in the CAD (Creo). A link can be created via ProFile, which we let appear on the Odoo product page. You can then view the drawing directly from Odoo via a viewer (via a .GLB file). So we will not import the drawing itself. The advantage is that the link always refers to the latest version of the drawing, whereas with an uploaded drawing you would have to take care of updating it. Of course, this can also be done, but I think our solution is simpler. Our old ERP works like this and it has worked well for us.
