CADSEEK Polaris
CADseek Polaris is our most fully-featured search application, combining text and shape-based search for comprehensive yet clutter-free search results. Key use cases: include
-
Reuse: finding an existing design that can be reused in a new application, or
-
Task Efficiency: accessing the data of a highly similar design, such as cost, to simplify a task, such as making a cost estimation for a new design.
Polaris is commonly used by design engineers, supply chain personnel and lean manufacturing teams.
Features
Visual Browsing
CADseek's accuracy enables Polaris to provide a highly innovative and intuitive method for search. Polaris automatically groups every design into families solely on the basis of shape. One highly intuitive way to search is to display families (the tiles shown in the image below) for visual selection ... ending the reliance on text to search for parts.
Combined Attribute and Shape-Search
Visual browsing can be initiated by an attribute search.
The Polaris Navigator displays families where at least one member has the solenoid attribute value. This means that even parts without the solenoid attribute are found because they are in a solenoid family.
The contents of an interesting family can be displayed, and any design can be selected as a search target to launch an even more specific shape-based search.
Search results are displayed by the degree of shape similarity to the search target so that the most relevant items are always listed at the top of the search results.
File Import and Search
New designs can be imported from CAD or from a CAD file and produce search results in just a couple of seconds.

Compare
Compare feature overlays two designs to simplify the identification of design differences.
