Our experience

Over 25 years of experience shows: if it works in 3D-Dig, it will work in your mine.

Mining simulation

3D Simulation of Mining Processes – Excavation, Transport and Dumping.

Excavation, Transport and Dumping
  • The flexible modelling system allows for highly detailed incremental simulation conforming to a schedule.
  • Fleet productivity for draglines, truck-shovel and dozer systems is supported with full dynamic simulation of equipment using haul/transport routes.
  • Detailed animations are produced for the operation which may be run independently on any PC, tablet or smart phone.
  • 3D-Dig animations are readily understood by mining personnel of all backgrounds, as well as non-experts.
  • Detailed volumetric and productivity reports are produced including calendar timing.
  • Topographic models of the operation at any stage of the schedule can be produced and exported.
  • Selective dumping (material modelling) is supported, including stratified dumps.

Manuals

The system comes with comprehensive online manuals as well as extensive training material and resources.

3D-Dig benefits and applications

  • Life-of-mine landform and spoil transport analysis.
  • Optimization of pit design, scheduling and spoil placement.
  • Troubleshooting studies targeting issues such as access and spoil fit.
  • Researching and validating new and novel mining methods.
  • Highly effective communication tool, for both corporate and field communications.
  • Assists and supports equipment purchasing and upgrade decisions.
