What our customers say
The answers to your questions
Where do the 3D components to be integrated into FTZ-Panel 3D come from, and in what format are they available ?
Volumes are usually available directly from manufacturers’ websites. They can also be easily modelled using 3D mechanical CAD software.
Do I need to use 3D mechanics software or does FTZ-Panel 3D work on its own ?
FTZ-Panel 3D is completely self-contained. It also has built-in functions to simplify 3D volumes if required.
Can FTZ-Panel 3D be used without the electrical diagram ?
Yes, it’s perfectly possible to create an enclosure layout without a diagram by importing a bill of materials or loading the components.
Where does the list of components to be implemented in FTZ-Panel 3D come from ?
Most of the time, the list comes from the SchemELECT schematic CAD software, defined on the basis of the electrical diagram. You can also import a list of equipment if you don’t want to create the schematic.
Does FTZ-Panel 3D deal with electrical component clashes and additives ?
Yes, snap handles can be used to create a magnetic effect in the 3D view for simplified positioning. Additives are also managed to facilitate their placement in relation to the main component.
Can the software check for collisions between components in the cabinet ?
Yes, there is a function to control collisions, guaranteeing quality assembly.
Can a complete installation with several cabinets and desks be modelled in FTZ-Panel 3D ?
Yes, FTZ-Panel 3D can be used to manage several cabinets as well as external equipment. It manages the entire installation, including cabinets, motors, consoles, etc.
Does FTZ-Panel 3D generate drilling plans and interface with CNC machines ?
Yes, the user can define the drilling plans. These plans can be used in the workshop via CNC machines.
Can FTZ-Panel 3D be used to produce manufacturing drawings for copper bars ?
Yes, dedicated functions can be used to define copper bars in 3D. Using the bending database, FTZ-Panel 3D automatically generates the corresponding bending plans.
Does FTZ-Panel 3D make it easier to design enclosures in series ?
Yes, the software allows you to calculate the actual lengths of wires and cables precisely, which makes it easier to prepare the wiring, optimises assembly time and ensures that the same wiring is used in the same cabinets.
Can wire paths and lengths be defined in FTZ-Panel 3D ?
Yes, the user defines the paths at the time of installation. The software then automatically generates the wire paths, which can be adjusted if required.
Can FTZ-Panel 3D be interfaced with a machine to cut the wires to the right length ?
Yes, FTZ-Panel 3D generates a list of wires and cables with their actual lengths, compatible with automated cutting machines.
Is FTZ-Panel 3D just for panel builders ?
No, FTZ-Panel 3D is not just for panel builders. It is also used by companies wishing to obtain a realistic view of their enclosures in 3D, such as engineers, design offices and installers.
Is there any software to control the manufacture of enclosures in the workshop ?
Yes, once the layout has been completed in FTZ-Panel 3D, the FTZ-Wiring Assistant software takes over and supports the assembly of components and wiring in the workshop.
