EVOLVE Manufacturing information about how to do things and often asked questions and much more.

What are the PC Requirements for EVOLVE Manufacturing?
- EVOLVE Suite PC Requirements
What is the goal of EVOLVE Manufacturing?
- EVOLVE Manufacturing module is an environment allowing analysis of results from a manufacturing perspective. It helps identify why a part has failed during the GD&T evaluation and what corrective action(s) can fix or improve the manufacturing process.
What does EVOLVE Manufacturing do?
- This module makes available the display of Location, Orientation, Size and Form error components of features or groups of features (in any combinations) in a chosen alignment.
- The groups are determined by different manufacturing steps such as operations, tools, alignments, or are imported from CAM.
- It uses the same measurement point cloud data as the GD&T evaluation to monitor and improve manufacturing operations.

What is the basic workflow?
- Create the GD&T project
- Create Coordinate Systems of the alignments
- Add Alignments
- Create Groups
- Analyze the results with EVOLVE Manufacturing tools: Activate the required alignment and group(s), display the result of the error components, see the feature data and group deviation statistics panel or the point data.
- Make corrective actions based on the results of the Group deviation statistics
- Create report(s)
