Issues with working in 2D (AutoCAD)
In an increasingly competitive market, your customers can demand shorter lead times and reduced pricing, or can award their business to cheaper suppliers. You do not have the option of cutting corners in the design, manufacturing process to reduce prices and shorten lead times. In a vertical like Machine / Equipment development, where you do not have any option of building prototypes to evaluate your designs, you are under extreme pressures to not just build the equipment right but also do it within the delivery deadlines.
• Making 2D drawings is an error prone method
• 2D drawings made on AutoCAD are not parametric.
• Strong visualization capabilities required to understand and make correct views.
• Cannot check mass properties, fitment, mechanisms in 2D
• Making changes take lot of time
• The drawings cannot be driven by relations between geometry and dimensions.
• It takes lot of time to create 2D drawings.
How to differentiate from Competition
• Bring new designs faster into the market
• Design products with predictable performance, quality and life to avoid warranty work
• Design products that are efficient
• Develop modular products that can be easily upgraded to new technology
• Standardize designs to produce new design faster by reusing existing designs
• Quote more efficiently and accurately
Usual reasons for Project delays
• Drawings not released on time
• Manufacturing delays because of errors in drawings
• Manufacturing guy could not understand the drawing clearly and made a mistake
• Vendor supplied incorrect component since certain dimensions were missing
• All the components are within tolerance but they still don't fit
• Inability to source correct material quantity in time
• Wrong revision released leading to production of wrong design
• Engineer is absent, can't find where he has kept the required drawing
• We made it as per the drawing but now this does not fit
