3D CAD models are the absolute essential engineering data that is used for all aspects of manufacturing. Our highly skilled team of engineers are adept at developing 3D CAD models using a range of 3D CAD software. Our skills are matched by our experience in the technology and adherence to the best practices set by the industry.
Since the successful development of a new product relies heavily on the usability of the 3D CAD models of the product, we ensure that no aspect of the CAD models is overlooked. 3D CAD models that are intended to be used in commercialized products must meet a number of criteria in order to be manufacturable and cost effective. At Pentadesk, every CAD model is created after strategic planning, so that future editing of the model will not cause the model to fail. This single step ensures huge time and cost saving in new product development projects where design changes and iterations are the norm in such projects.
Our Primary CAD tool is SolidWorks, but our expertise spans all other major parametric CAD tools.
We have been a forerunner in providing 3D CAD modeling support to USA, EU based manufacturing companies. Our design team works as an extension of our client’s design team seamlessly.
Benefits of 3D CAD Modeling
1. Better Representation of Designs than 2D
Based on a 2D drawing, it is difficult to visualize a finished design and may have difficulty picturing the final design. 3D modeling helps an engineer provide an accurate depiction of a project and allows clients to see a built-to-scale representation of their projects. With mechanical 3D modeling, one can even highlight specific exterior paint colours, structural choices, and features, thus showing what the project will look like in real life.
2. More Effective Design for Manufacturability
While it is seen that 3D is undoubtedly more efficient than 2D in representing design for manufacturability. A 3D mechanical model has the potential to get the quality of your design across more effectively weeding out inconsistencies in the ideation and supposed implementation compared to any 2D drawing. So engineering firms can utilize 3D models for examining linear and geometric tolerances and how those values can affect the manufacturing process.
3. Catch Errors Promptly
While it may sound unbelievable, 3D modeling has an excellent quality to catch errors in machining models, thus saving many funds. Sometimes engineers can make obvious mistakes that can lead to heavy losses if the errors get unnoticed during designing stages. But utilizing 3D models and the simulation software in tow, one can speed the process and spot shortcomings before proceeding to manufacturing and production. Thus, a project can be checked, tested, and revised before going into production that no drawing or 2D design ever could.
4. Effective visualization
Mechanical engineers can manipulate 3D models and validate their laid out plans to identify any problems with design quality. 3D renderings can save a lot of time and money, and give an accurate picture of how they can change their design if they need to. Thus, 3D models are cheaper to alter a project in the design stage than waiting for it to be completed.
5. Faster Time to Market
With engineering tools evolving in product design, many mechanical engineers can leverage 3D models to spend less time during the initial design stage as they don't have the luxury of time to perfect this part of the process. Moreover, they can identify issues ahead of time and use the insights to finish the projects quickly and efficiently within a stipulated time frame and budget.
Thus, 3D modelling has provided a critical speed element to the engineering community with a faster virtual machining model. It can give customers and other stakeholders assurance of seeing the 'working model' before the tooling process and production process begins.
Engineering Technique is one company that can leverage 3D Modeling further with its behavioural modeling and simulation analysis solutions, leveraging SOLIDWORKS range of products. Each of the engineered products gain competitive advantage owing to their optimal performance and function with definitive iterations.
