Manufacturing parts

A manufacturing part is an internally produced component. Drawings or 3D models generally exist for manufacturing parts.

A manufacturing part usually has geometric properties, a material (basic material and/or semifinished part) as well as a routing that plans out the production or processing of the manufacturing part. Any additional costs incurred can also be included.

The qualitative aspects of a manufacturing part can be managed using functions.

You can administer manufacturing parts in multiple languages.
