Why existing models can make great concept ideas?

Posted by Emma Rudeck on 01-Nov-2012 13:01:00

Concept ideas can come from a wide range of sources and there are plenty of ways to look at concept design. But, for most engineers and designers, only some of concept ideas start from scratch. Instead, many will come from, at least in part, from existing design models. So, let’s take a look at why this is the case.

Design flexibility: 5 design challenges that mean you need it

Posted by Emma Rudeck on 01-Aug-2012 11:47:00

First of all, what is it we mean by design flexibility? Well, it’s having the capabilities to take you design, as it stands, and react to changes you need to make without impacting on the design integrity. Having tools that facilitate design flexibility mean you’re prepared for the challenges that come as part of product design. So, what are the 5 key challenges that mean you need flexibility in your design work?

How have CAD developments enhanced design agility?

Posted by Emma Rudeck on 29-Jun-2012 14:27:00

CAD tools need to be flexible, particularly in the later stages of product development cycles. Yet, traditional parametric models can make it difficult to accommodate late-stage design changes and restrict design agility. Recent CAD developments are now addressing these limitations, enabling designers to explore more design possibilities with increase agility.
