Create3D
SMS is constantly writing software to create and enhance the customized functions of Create3D. Our custom script has created customer-specific solutions and integrated industry standard formulas and metrics. These are some of the most commonly used tools within the Create3D platform.
Create3D Smart Symbols
Our custom software allows SMS the ability to turn "regular" 3D models into "smart" 3D symbols. Smart symbols hold intelligence relating to capacity, investment and operating costs. Smart symbols also communicate with the SMS calculator to provide intelligent information at the machine/operator level all the way up to facility level. Once smart symbols are embedded with the built-in intelligence users can quickly analyze the impact of adding new machines to the plant floor.
Smart symbols can be saved into the SMS library for future use allowing users to design new layouts with the most commonly-used machines and facility objects. The cataloged symbols can be embedded with the built-in intelligence to quickly analyze the impact of adding new machines to the plant floor.
Our current library holds over 20,000 smart symbols and is growing every day.

Create3D Financial Calculator
Our financial calculator connects to every smart symbol in the layout and combines the intelligence into a single visual controller. The calculator is able to measure the data in the symbols to provide results for net capacity, investment and operating costs. The capacity, investment, and operating costs are then analyzed to provide a Cost Per Unit (CPU).
Our financial calculator allows our customers to make clients well-informed operational, business and financial decisions because they understand the financial outcomes of their technical decisions.

Create3D Layout Visualization
Create3D can help customers realize their manufacturing, commercial real estate, or other types of layouts in the virtual realm. The virtual layout is an excellent communication tool for all levels to understand the systems and its concepts. Building up a concept layout before a building or machine is even purchased provides a better chance of securing funding, discovering honest mistakes in design, rooting out potential interference issues and planning for the most efficient use of the available space.
3D Manufacturing Layout
Create3D Animation, Simulation and Material Flow Services
Once an intelligent catalog or layout has been created, animations provide an excellent reference to show parts moving on conveyors or being transferred by robots or workers.
Simulation services provide data outputs to track machine availability and identify which equipment is blocked or starved. It is even possible to connect a PLC device and test out controls logic against the virtual system before any equipment has been purchased or sold.
Our material flow simulations can provide suggestions on the most efficient routes and sequences to supply the line, operators or machines with material. SMS can analyze possible bottlenecks and diagnose problem areas due to material not reaching the line in time and offer suggestions to improve material flow throughout the facility.

Create3D Ergonomics
SMS has the capability to analyze the stress on an operator as they move through their processes. Our smart ergonomic operator uses NIOSH standards to calculate the force on the lower back and joints to help discover and eliminate potentially dangerous movements and postures. Adjusting metrics such as gender, height, and weight can aid in analyzing the operator's process using any number of different body types.
