Software
A full suite of design, project management, and manufacturing software for shadow boards, tool kits, inlays, and packaging.
A Turnkey and Closed Loop and Traceable solution
We started creating our CAD software, Blue Shadow, with the goal of offering a simple solution for scanning in 2D images of tools and converting them to models that can be quickly laid out into a shadow board. We quickly learned that managing projects was equally as important, so we developed Blue Manager and the customer web portal interface for project management and design edit traceability. We linked Blue Manager to the manufacturing process when we added automatic NC Code generation and nesting to close the loop from design to manufacturing.
The OSAAP business lives and operates in our software suite everyday. The design, project management, and manufacturing teams interface in real-time with software development. When you work with OSAAP, you can be assured the entire process state-of-the-art.
Design
Our goal is to include our customers in the design process. Whether you design your project from scratch, or use our free design service and only review the design in Blue Shadow, you can be assured that you get what you want with OSAAP. The software is simple to use and written for the single purpose of designing shadow boards
Project Management
To successfully manage a high volume of projects, we have developed a proprietary project management solution with a customer interface for you to interface at project and individual board level. Shadow boards, inlays, and kit designs evolve. At OSAAP, we provide full revision control and design traceability for you to easily look back at the history of each design. Notifications keep you up to date with the status of each board you have in the queue.
Manufacturing
To be the best in the world at manufacturing “lot size of one” shadow boards, we had to develop a unique manufacturing management solution that works internally for OSAAP, and for our customers that manufacture locally in-house as well.
