The Path to 3D: 10 Successful Strategies Every Design Leader Should Know.
Few design professionals today could question the value that three-dimensional CAD
technology can bring to their daily operations. Faster design cycles, fewer engineering
change orders (ECOs), major savings in prototypes and testing – 3D can dramatically
accelerate the pace of your business.
Of course, most design professionals have already seen and tested a range of
3D CAD technologies. But, for many shops, the challenge isn’t understanding
3D’s benefits or persuading design managers about the importance of migrating
to 3D. Fact is, 2D technologies – while solid and reliable – no longer yield the
game-changing breakthroughs that companies rely on to move their business forward.
However, that doesn’t mean 3D adoption is free from issues that require careful planning
and management. The following white paper presents 10 key factors, strategies,
and recommendations for design managers to consider as they embark on a migration
to bring 3D technology into their shops.
Since no two companies are identical, the appropriateness of these recommendations
will vary. However, by giving each of these suggestions careful consideration, design
managers can begin to move to a 3D implementation with greater confidence and
lower risk of negative impact.
