With more than 20 years of providing quality SPC and tolerance analysis solutions to manufacturers, DCS has been influential in helping manufacturers reduce their Cost of Quality
DCS was established by Robert Kaphengst and John Mathieson to support the need for a disciplined approach to GD&T deployment. This approach would come to be known as the Dimensional Engineering Process. The first DCS customers were automotive OEM’s and suppliers needing to apply this discipline to their engineering organizations.
Release of version 1.0 of 3DCS 3-D CAD based Variation Analysis Software. Initially used to support its contracted dimensional engineering services work, 3DCS soon became commercialized and available to the general industry marketplace.
Originally called GDM, 1999 marked the release of version 1.0 of QDM Inspection Reporting software.
DCS enters into PLM provider Dassault Systemes CAA partner program. This leads to the development and commercial availability of 3DCS CAA V5 CATIA integrated variation analysis.
3DCS becomes integrated into multiple CAD systems through agreements with PTC (CREO), SIEMENS (NX), DASSAULT SYSTEMES (SOLIDWORKS), in addition to existing integrations in 3DEXPERIENCE and CATIA V5.
Sandvik acquired US-based Dimensional Control Systems (DCS) – a leading global provider of dimensional quality management software and on-site engineering services. DCS’s offering will complement and enhance Sandvik’s existing portfolio within metrology. The company will be included in the Industrial Metrology division, within the business area Sandvik Manufacturing and Machining Solutions. Click to learn more
Ulicny has been with DCS since its inception in 1994. Having worked with John Mathieson for 32 years, Ulicny’s background and over 30 years of experience in the dimensional engineering field have prepared him to take on this new role. As the future brings Sandvik and DCS together, Ulicny will be core to strengthening this connection and helping see the metrology division’s vision of a combined solution come to fruition.
