Manufacturers everywhere struggle with many of the same design challenges that lead to inefficiencies:
- Design changes come late in development.
- Supply chain partners send over incompatible design data.
- Concept designs can’t leverage existing models, even when the new ideas draw heavily on the old.
Many teams deal with these challenges by simply starting over with the model. This requires engineers to spend many hours recreating existing data from scratch. A flexible modeling approach can change that. It combines the best of parametric and direct design in one CAD tool. It preserves the design intelligence of existing models and applies intelligence to dumb models.
