The company claims that effectively using iCHECK, its proprietary, industry leading, data quality and integrity analysis software application, the users can easily overcome these challenges.
Autodesk, Inc. is a company developin 2D and 3D design software for the manufacturing, construction, and media and entertainment markets. Autodesk Inventor is a 3D parametric solid modeling package produced by Autodesk and is the foundation for their Digital Prototyping solution.
Inventor is based on the more advanced parametric modeling techniques using an approach that Autodesk calls "Functional Design." A parametric modeler allows the geometry to be dimension-driven, while in non-parametric CAD programs the dimensions are geometry-driven.
Inventor users begin by designing parts. These parts can then be combined into assemblies or design within the context of an assembly. The software is used in design and engineering to produce and perfect new products. iCHECK helps designers deploying Autodesk Inventor who pick up a file where another designer has left off.
Dan Miles, manager of Technical Services for the INCAT General Manufacturing Solutions (GMS (

Miles noted that found that these problems can be identified 35 percent sooner through the use of iCHECK, and it is the only such application available on the market for use with Inventor.
Tom Hallenbeck, Development Manager for INCAT at iCHECK commented that the company is serious about delivering technology that enables its clients to realize earlier problem-solving and discernable leaps in productivity.
Hallenbeck added that as INCAT continues to push the envelope, it is keen to give companies the ability to validate their best practices and methodologies with its software applications.
INCAT deploys its pragmatic approach to engineering and manufacturing processes and its Global Delivery Model for delivering advanced solutions for Product Lifecycle Management (PLM), Enterprise Resource Management (ERP) and Application Development and Maintenance (ADM).
