Origin SoftFit II Engineering Triage Services

Origin SoftFit II is a unique software tool for Engineers that can provide the precise dimensional information needed to analyze, approve or fix non-conforming parts. Origin offers manufacturers with non-conforming parts the option to analyze and fix non-conforming parts problems in their facility using Origin Authorized SoftFit II Triage Consultants on a fee basis. Our consultants can come to your location and use SoftFit II to solve real parts issues in partnership with your non-conforming parts engineering team. Take advantage of our SoftFit II Triage Services to evaluate and cost justify an Origin software purchase – we recommend the try and cost justify before you buy approach! 

Multiple Implementation Options. Origin is unique in the market by offering two options to manufacturers looking to improve their non-conforming parts process with a Root Cause and G.D. & T. Analysis tool:

1. As a software tool. Origin offers SoftFit II as a software tool your Engineers responsible for the non-conforming parts process can use in current operations (available on a purchase or annual rental basis).

2. As a service in your facility. Origin also offers experienced SoftFit II Engineering Triage Service Consultants that are available on a fee basis analyze/solve real non-conforming parts problems in your current working environment in partnership with your Engineering Personnel responsible for the non-conforming parts process and the measuring process. 

Who uses SoftFit II Engineering Triage Services? The short answer is typically those Engineers responsible for the non-conforming parts process within a manufacturing or design company. Typical departments we work with include Product Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Metrology, Quality and Purchasing functions. 

Applications for SoftFit II include: dimensional analysis applications in the non-conforming parts process that can include shop floor automated gages, product design, part prototyping, tool/die and casting, purchasing/supplier management, airfoils/blade design and production, plastic parts design and molding, and bio-medical part design and manufacture and most quality, inspection applications.

SoftFit II Engineering Triage Services Example. A company has an time limited non-conforming part problem and has not been able to solve it using conventional methods. The problem will cost a minimum of $100K plus to change the die but the measurement data provided is not able to determine the precise dimensional information needed to make the correct changes to the die and make the part conforming to spec. in this type of scenario Origin will:

1. Analyses the measurement data supplied by the Quality Lab responsible for measuring the part. 

2. Proposes a 3 day contract to solve the problem after seeing the data and CAD files.

3. Provides a SoftFit II Engineering Triage Consultant equipped with a PC and SoftFit II at your location. Our Consultant partners with the Engineer(s) responsible for the non-conforming part and together they use their expertise to “what if” the part problems and use SoftFit II Root Cause or G.d. & T Analysis to provide the exact dimensional information needed to get the part to conform in a team approach.
   Our consultant works the software while the Engineer guides the process and analysis and choose sthe nature of the reports needed to fix the part.

4. In most cases this approach is used to show how our software tool can work in your environment and precedes actual installation and training of the appropriate operators in your environment.
