Engineering design drawings are an essential part of the manufacturing process but these can be overly complicated and detailed for the end customer. This is where technical illustrations come into play. However, the process of turning your engineering drawings into technical illustrations doesn’t always run smooth. This is where Creo Illustrate comes into play, helping you to erase difficult hurdles from your engineering process.
A survey by Tech-Clarity revealed that 30% of service leaders believe their technical documentation contains inaccuracies.
With dozens of engineering change orders (ECOs) submitted throughout an asset’s lifecycle, the thought of outdated parts information is a sobering one.
Ever wanted a better understanding in how your product design team operate? Do they tend to delay the overall manufacturing process, and therefore the time to market? It’s probably because they are in a long line of manufacturing functions, which could be described as a domino effect. Many organisations play this game and operate in this way; the next process can only start until the task before is successfully completed. Sounds a little old-fashioned, doesn’t it?
You know that, as a manufacturer, it’s a tireless process looking for ways to improve efficiency and get products to market faster than ever before. One way which you can do this is by bridging the gap between CAD applications and technical publications.
It’s a well known fact that last minute calls on your design process can extend schedules, sometimes well into the night, to get the job done.
First things first: What is a technical illustration? And where does it lie in the overall manufacturing process?
Being able to access the benefits of design re-use and make the most of your legacy data relies on having the right tools and systems in place. In fact, many organisations face real challenges making the most of the data they already have. According to a recent survey completed by PTC, out of 7000 manufacturing organisations:
Coping with late stage design changes is one of the most common challenges facing modern engineering and design departments. As you probably already know, many design changes occurlate in the process. Often, many months after the original design was created. Late stage design changes can be a real problem for companies. But there is hope, and tackling this challenge with Creo Parametric makes the process somuch easier, meaning your designs won’t underperform.
As you know all too well, many design changes occur late in the process or even many months after the original design was created. Late stage design changes can be a real problem for companies. You want to be able to respond quickly to the challenge, without having to sacrifice your design intent. But, this isn’t always easy to do.
