Why move to 3D Now?

3D CAD, such as SolidWorks, possess Unique Advantages that can be leveraged by 2D CAD users for instant benefits without compromising on 2D Drawing Quality.  Some of them are:
  • Effective Visualization, Communication (in 3D using eDrawings) and Collaboration
  • Integrated Design Validation to achieve Higher Reliability, using CAE - Finite Element Analysis ( FEA ) and Computational Fluid Dynamics ( CFD ), while arriving at Least Cost ( Optimal ) Designs
  • Integrated Tolerance Analysis (using SigmundWorks) for effective least-cost Tolerancing and PPM estimation
  • Elimination of Re-work (off-site as well as on-site) due to Interference, design changes while providing accurate Bill-of-Materials ( BOM ) at the RFQ Stage !
  • Completeness and Correctness of Drawings to ANSI / ISO Standards assured using DimXpert - A Revolutionary Technology for the Engineering Design Community
  • Simply Stated - To Design Better Products that Customers Deserve ! Leverage on Next Generation Technology !
