CAD software have become the backbone of cutting-edge innovations and development of new products in the field of engineering and manufacturing industry. Companies accelerate their innovations and enhance the development process at the same time decreasing the expenditure using them.
CAD has created its own niche in the blueprint industry. Amongst the diverse industries, 3D CAD software capture between one-third and one-half of the systems. The rest of the systems are used for 2D computer-aided designing.
There are several engineering CAD software prevailing in the market namely, SOLIDWORKS, CATIA, Autodesk, Siemens NX, PTC Creo, Kompas 3D, etc. Each CAD software may have distinctive characteristics and features for 3D modeling and create designs.
Selection of the apt CAD software is a strenuous task when there is no familiarity or very little knowledge of the operating mechanism. For choosing the 3D CAD software, fitting one’s expectations, the following criteria need to be considered:
• Proficiency & Adept 3D Modeling
The fundamental facet of 3D CAD software allows the user to create product design in a well-timed manner. It becomes necessary to evaluate the efficiency of CAD software for creating designs in 3D with minimal efforts but sustaining the quality of the output. CAD software should support the users in the stages of their product development process including analysis, amalgamation and documentation of the absolute design procedure.
• Effortless Exchanging of Documentation
Using an appropriate CAD software eradicates the necessity for translation of files between systems. As compared with the expenditures incurred for recreating the designs based on the interactions with the customers, the 3D CAD software offer the feature of exchanging CAD files with external parties benefiting both in terms of cost, valuable time and delivering unsurpassed quality.
• Future-ready Tool in-line with current standards
The 3D CAD software should be selected keeping in mind the standard you require for all of your drawings in terms of dimensions, tolerances, imprinting, and items lineup. The blueprints generated should be available in common formats.
Several manufacturers use annotated 3D models, often popular as “model-based definition” for providing their remarks on the drawings, saving significant time by simplifying the management of the product and eliminating errors in execution of the changes.
