The Pros and Cons of Parametric Modeling

Posted by Emma Rudeck on 11-Oct-2013 14:30:00

Years ago, when parametric technology and features first came about, it’s not an exaggeration to say that it revolutionised the CAD industry. This technology really changed the way that engineering organisations not only developed 3D models, it also changed the way that they made amends to the drawings as well. Even recently, research has shown the benefits of building intelligence into models and modular approaches that really provide a lot of power and help automate a lot of the engineering process.
