By moving into the “virtual world of design and fabrication” you will:

• Improve your designs and increase flexibility and adaptation for simplified changes throughout the design process
• Bring products and projects to market faster, allowing for digital prototypes before you build the real ones
• Animate product movements to help avoid collisions and interferences with other parts or objects
• Create photorealistic renderings and animations of products or projects that will land the next order or job
• Improve the performance of what you design with dynamic simulation and stress analysis
• Link your drawings to models to limit lengthy revisions when the design is updated or changed
• Allow for ease and modification of prior designs by only making necessary changes to avoid starting new projects from scratch
• Go from your computer straight to the shop floor with CAM programs that are developed within the 3D model
• Create 3D printed parts that allow for rapid prototyping in the real world without costly tools and fixtures

The benefits for you and your company include:

• Faster, more accurate, and better designed products and projects
• Simplified communication when collaborating with clients and personnel
• Training is based on direct application of your company’s products or services
• Intelligent drawings that are exact representations of what you design, not a reproduction
• Becoming more efficient with the same personnel by transitioning your 2D Drafters into 3D Designers
