Generative design, where designers incorporate AI algorithms into their processes to create and evaluate multiple designs faster, is the hottest topic in product development right now. The opportunities are there for all to see: the ability to design better, faster, cheaper and more sustainably. However, nothing in life is perfect, and generative design brings a range of challenges that you need to navigate if you’re going to reap the rewards.
In an ideal world, designers and engineers would be able to explore all the possible design options, without any restrictions or limitations. But, market pressures often mean that this simply isn’t possible.
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.
No plan is perfect. In product development, this fact of life is often evident - particularly when teams are battling against tight deadlines and expectant customers.
Manufacturing techniques are changing and keeping on top of new technology is becoming an ever increasing challenge. How do you know where to invest your time and effort?
The prospect of improving the quality of products without adding cost or employee time seems like a pipe dream, doesn't it? It is possible, though, and can be achieved with the introduction of simulation during the design process.
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.
Only a small number of small- and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) have set up a best-in-class product design environment (Aberdeen research). This means that most organisations simply aren’t prepared or well positioned to handle new challenges as they arise. But there is software out there that can help.
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:
