CAD Software and Product Development

We’ve come a long way since the 2D drafting boards from days of yore.   Today’s CAD software can create accurate 3D models, is history based, and parametric.  Here are why these things are so important to the product development process.

Benefits of Modeling in 3D

CAD software allows a very accurate model to be created in 3D.  This helps eliminate confusion.  Rather than  interpret orthographic views, the virtual product can be zoomed and rotated to view details clearly.  The product designer can tweak and perfect the design –  down to thousandth’s of an inch.   The 3D model can then be printed and prototyped for testing and validation – often within a few hours.  These advancements in software and 3D printing have helped to greatly speed up the product development process, and greatly reduce the time and cost of prototypes.

Another advantage of having a 3D CAD model is that it can be used with other software packages for further testing.  One example is that it can be imported into simulation software for stress analysis.  Another example would be using it in inside of mold flow software to evaluate plastic flow during the molding process.

Benefits of Parametric CAD Software

Many of the 3D CAD software programs being used today are referred to as parametric.  Parametric is history based CAD.  This means that as the part is created, a history is kept; the driving dimensions and features are stored, and can be rolled back and retrieved at any point in time.   Some major players in this arena are Solidworks, Creo, Catia, and Siemens.

In summary, 3D CAD has opened the door to many possibilities that did not exist during the age of 2D CAD drawings.   Feel free to contact us at info@caddesignco.com to learn more about 3D CAD software or to discuss your CAD modeling needs.

In addition to being faster, Keith’s communication skills and creativity set him apart from other designers I’ve worked with in the past. Excited to work with him in the future!
Joseph HuettVP New Product DevelopmentBig Country Toys
I have worked with Keith on several projects and have always been completely satisfied. I would highly recommend Keith’s services to anybody in need of CAD support. Always accurate, fast and professional.
Dave S.Engineering Consultant
I didn’t now what to expect when I started, but very quickly I knew I was in good hands. Keith insisted on good communication and jumped on video calls within minutes of me asking (I’m in France and he still made the time difference work).  What he comes up with is world class. I highly recommend trusting your baby with CAD Design Co.
Roderic AndrewsInventor
As an inventor and commercial artist, details matter. Keith’s attention to detail is immeasurable. He understands what  you’re asking and explains everything in detail . His CAD modeling and prototypes are the best I’ve experienced. I really enjoy working with him and will continue to use his services.
Willie HobbsInventorHeWill, LLC
Keith was highly communicative and efficient throughout the project. His drawings and models were tidy, consistent, and quick!  I’ll definitely be working with CAD Design Company again.
Zach GriggsOwner / DesignerPlatform Product Development
To be candid, I have no interest in mentioning to anyone about the quality and outstanding level of performance from CAD Design Company. Simply because I am selfish and wish to keep their capabilities a trade secret.
