Using 3D for design is the emerging trend in the future
Thread Content
Now, many companies no longer use CAD to create 2D drawings step by step; instead, they use 3D software for design and then generate 2D versions of those designs to send to the manufacturing plants. In the future, if 2D drawings are no longer used at all, and 3D designs are sent directly to the manufacturers in 3D format, it will make the manufacturing process more intuitive, and customers will also be able to see the products more clearly. Please also discuss it.
Hasn’t 3D been around for ten or twenty years already? It can’t be considered a trend anymore. 2D diagrams aren’t produced any longer either; 3D provides a clearer view
This way of thinking existed as early as a decade or two ago; it’s just that for all these years, the engineering field has held dominance, with all requirements being determined by engineering standards. Moreover, most of these engineering methods do not possess the capability for 3D design, and conceptual design still relies primarily on 2D drawings
I have a gentle question: how do I get started with 3D design?
There are many software programs for 3D design, such as PROE, SOLIDWORKS, and INVENTOR. Moreover, those working in design and analysis should have some knowledge of stress analysis software, as it is useful for container designers. Some companies these days must have software for automatic design and drawing generation; it works by allowing me to input data and the results from SW6, after which the corresponding hole locations are determined based on specified conditions. 3D and 2D drawings can be automatically generated.
The phenomenon you mention is impossible to occur. Not to mention the extent of use of 3D design in design firms, the detailed designs created by manufacturing plants for production purposes differ in depth from the 3D designs produced by design firms, and the software used is also different. So how can there be such a thing as \"directly generating 3D designs for direct manufacturing\"?
