The five-billion-dollar CAD design market is expected to double in value by 2023. In addition, the number of 3D professionals and computer-aided design firms will increase as well. This is the result of more industries that need CAD systems. Has your company started using CAD design for product development? It helps reduce overall cost and production time.
To ensure a more efficient product development process, let’s see how CAD can help.
What is CAD?
Computer-Aided Design Software (CAD) is used for creating intricate 3D and 2D drawings. Users can perform the following tasks:
- Optimizing designs
- Analyzing existing designs
- Modifying designs (useful for iteration and prototypes)
- Preparing technical documentation
- … and more!
CAD has any number of significant applications. To improve designer productivity, the application’s main purpose is to automate drafting and product design procedures.
Productivity Enhanced through Automation
Designers can easily visualize the design of a product, how it works, and how it will be developed through CAD software. You can even develop better products, reduce creation time, and improve productivity on a small budget.
Automate Product Documentation Processes
The time-consuming and hectic task of manual product documentation can be taken over by CAD software. The task is simplified and allows you to access material specifications, subassemblies, components, dimensions, and geometrics.
Easy Simulation for Improved Design Quality
You can integrate CAD with a large number of tools. While using a CAD tool to craft your drawing, there are multiple aids you can use to improve design quality and reduce design errors.
Easy Collaboration
CAD tools are a blessing when you have multiple individuals or remote teams working on a project. It makes communication, synchronization, change tracking, reviews, and collaboration easy for everyone.
Efficient Idea Presentation, Iteration, and Prototyping
Iteration and the development of prototypes can be efficiently streamlined with CAD. For reverse engineering, CAD-assisted iteration is indispensable. You can demonstrate CAD data for investors, teams, employees, and supervisors with ease (additional software tools for technical illustration can be used here). Illustrating the potential of a product for investors was difficult via traditional presentation methods. Today’s prototypes and 3D illustrations, however, are far more effective.
Additional CAD Software Benefits
- Enhance product security
- Recycle and reuse designs in existing databases
- Modify designs and drawings quickly
- Print 3D model
- Render and animate assemblies
