Design Innovations In Rapid Prototyping And Automotive Product Development.
Innovate Faster. Today’s economy, more than ever, compels innovation and a rapid succession of new models in order to remain vital and profitable in the market. The aptitude to reduce development cycles and development costs can be obtained by sharing expensive engineering capabilities, and dynamic, cost-effective collaborations to design quickly and efficiently more and multiple products. Effectively using the latest rapid prototyping technology including 3D design to suit your exact needs can help produce more accurate, more complex designs at the automotive industry in shorter lead times at an average of 22% and reduce non-conformance issues up to 40% when compared to standard 2D methods.
Collaborate Better. Effective and early collaboration is absolutely critical, with up to 70% of a product’s total lifecycle costs being figured out during the early phases of product development. Having a vendor that understands the demands and challenges of the product rapid prototyping development process and is able to help meet those challenges lends itself to quicker innovation capacity and capability. Even when you are already implementing the latest CAD in-house, a professional design services firm can provide the ability to increase your powers by seamlessly integrating with your team to handle the demand with focused expertise.
Manage data Effectively. The development of new automotive industry products and methods is no easy task. A host of design, product, and process data must be captured and managed. The better managed, and more this data can be condensed into an easy-to-search repository, the higher the quality of development process that can be achieved and the more this data can be leveraged for future designs. Vital to this end is the creation of fully associative 2D production drawings, 3D solid models and additionally 3D visualizations, rapid prototyping models, BOM’s, products with several configurations and model variants, simulations and investigation reports, and project management documents such as amendment lists and drawing lists.
Manage Engineering Changes. Engineering changes naturally occur at a rapid rate during the design, assembly, and testing phases. A change to the project can affect many documents. Utilizing the latest CAD technology is able to help avoid costly mistakes by ensuring that changes made anywhere within the process automatically update all product data, including parts, assemblies, and systems drawings.
With engineering services proposed at materialise.com you can analyze the physical performance of designs through simulation to improve time to market and minimize errors later in the development cycle, conduct quick stress analyses to make sure that parts can carry anticipated loads, improve automotive industry designs by reducing weight without sacrificing strength. Collision detection can be invaluable, particularly in the engine area where clearances can be a major issue. These capabilities help reduce developments cost by decreasing the number of required physical prototypes.
