Editor's Notes
- Hello and welcome to the Product Development webinar series. This series is designed to help you learn how to solve some of today's toughest product design challenges. I'm your host, Joe Partner. Thank you for joining in today.
- Now, today, we're going to be talking Thriving in a multi-cad environment, looking at the challenges of syncing design changes from one CAD to another. As part of this series, we’ve looked at or will be looking at a few other closely related issues... On <insert date>… Simulation Driven Design- Bringing forward simulation to improve product development And if you missed our two webinars- From Concept to Market and Successful Product redesign- recordings are available on our website. Please feel free to enter in your questions at any time during the presentation. We'll get to them during the Q&A session at the end of the presentation. With all that said, let me give you a better idea of what we'll cover today... Partner- Ideally this should be run as part of a series where single registration covers all webinars. Adjust/remove this slide if you are running as a stand alone webinar.
- First, I’ll describe the nature of Imported Geometry and the challenges that face product design engineers Next we’ll look at the implications of these challenges- to both you and your organization. After that, were going to look at how two companies sought out and applied next generation CAD and the impact it had on their employees and the business. And finally, to wrap things up, we’ll have a question and answer session. With all that said, let’s get going!
- Engineers don’t only do one thing. They wear a big hat with many responsibilities. It’s a BIG job. Besides being dedicated to incredible design, their responsibilities are spread throughout the product lifecycle. Good designs don’t just happen. Engineers plan them.
- Here is a screenshot of a report that was published in 2013 on 3D collaboration and interoperability There were over 840 respondents overall and the findings will form a basis of our conversation today.
- This report focused on three main topics—design data interoperability, model-based initiatives and the use of 3D off the critical path. The findings on design data interoperability are specifically of interest to our discussion today.
- One of the key findings in the report was the indication of just how much design data is being exchanged. This chart shows the amount of design data files are exchanged with other organizations per month, on average. As you can see most organizations are exchanging design data heavily. Typically this data comes in neutral formats as well as native formats that don’t match the CAD application that you use internally.
- As shown in this chart, engineers are spending a LOT of time fixing design data. Most engineers spend more that 4 hours a week, on average fixing design data that doesn’t come in as a solid or that they need to tweak or change. That is time that they could be using in a more productive manner—to explore and iterate on new alternatives or dedicate to other new design projects. This is non-value added time in the design cycle.
- In Traditional CAD, modification of imported geometry has a tendency to create issues that require tremendous amount of time spent on repair. Let us briefly take a look on what happens in Traditional CAD.
- As usual, a 3D design file is received and then imported into CAD… At this point a couple of things usually happens… Features aren’t imported completely thus the design is broken The CAD software do not have a mechanism to drive the changes required Issues with geometry when trying to apply changes to the design What will the engineer do next?
- Does he continue to use the imported features and spend more time fixing issues along the way Or Rebuild the model In either case, this leads to wasted time. Time that could have been spent for revenue generation activities.
- Modification of imported geometry in traditional CAD is challenging and can be costly for the organization.
- If not addressed quickly, the implications to both the organization and the engineer can be dire.
- What does this actually mean? Your designers will most likely be spending an inordinate amount of non-value added time trying to fix the reuse issue. Quickly reaching the “reuse tipping point”. The high volume of design data exchanges are a time waster when the CAD is unable to handle the import correctly.
- So we wonder if it is faster to fix the existing model or to rebuild?
- CAD should really enable the ease of importing design data to enable design efforts. It should not hinder. It should be a tool that will enhance the capability of the designer.
- The Next Generation CAD fully supports the modification and manipulation of imported design data. It reduces time wasting activities and allows the organization and engineer to be more productive.
- The Next Generation is more flexible, generate far less errors and it’s easier to use. Calculations are based on needs and not history. There are also fewer dependencies connecting parts, and all controls exist at top level to facilitate ease of manipulation.
- The implications to the organization and engineers are positive in the Next Generation CAD environment.
- Less time is being spent on fixing errors. Activities focused on increasing productivity and profits. No more missed deadlines. And ultimately an increased in customer satisfaction. The benefits of using Next Generation CAD far outweighs that of Traditional CAD-for the organization as well as for the engineers.
- Let us quickly look at a story from Caprock Manufacturing. Founded in 1983, Caprock Manufacturing is a privately held custom manufacturer of plastic injection molded products and assemblies for the OEM market. Vertically integrated services include product design, prototyping, mold making and a wide range of finishing processes. Caprock Manufacturing excels in Early Supplier Involvement, a process in which Caprock partners with the customer during the product design period to ensure manufacturability, quality and cost effectiveness while keeping tooling lead-time to a minimum.
- Let us first look at Caprock’s challenges.
- Let us first look at Caprock’s challenges.
- Caprock constantly receives design data files from its OEM’s which need to be modified before the design can be used to manufacture the final product. The process to modify the imported design is slow causing delay. The imported design rework creates additional workload and demand on the engineers- wasting valuable time. Lastly, Caprock’s current CAD tool does not fully support importing of design files from Caprock’s OEMs-which leads to uncertainty in the future of their current CAD tool.
- Caprock was determined to find better ways to modify customer’s design data. Ways that will make design changes of imported design data easier and faster and with minimum errors. Fortunately Caprock decided to replace their existing traditional CAD with New Generation CAD. Using the Next Generation CAD, Caprock is now able to import customer’s design data file and make required changes quickly and easily.
- Caprock was determined to find better ways to modify customer’s design data. Ways that will make design changes of imported design data easier and faster and with minimum errors. Fortunately Caprock decided to replace their existing traditional CAD with New Generation CAD. Using the Next Generation CAD, Caprock is now able to import customer’s design data file and make required changes quickly and easily.
- This illustration in this slide shows an imported design. Caprock was able to very quickly make changes to repeated parts in the design by just changing a single part. A process that would have taken a couple hours under traditional CAD to complete is done in minutes with Next Gen CAD.
- Adding new parts to imported design is also direct and easy
- Using Next Generation CAD, getting from existing design to required design is quick and easy. Lets take a deepr look in this short demonstration <<partner please play the Caprock Demo here>>
- Next Generation CAD has made it easier for Caprock to add and modify parts from imported customer’s design file. It has saved Caprock tremendous amounts of time in the process by working faster with far fewer mistakes.
- Solid Edge with Synchronous Technology is Next Generation CAD. With Solid Edge there are minimal interdependencies. With minimal dependencies, there are minimal failures. And furthermore, there aren’t feature failures because they don’t exist here. Overall, there are fair fewer constraints when an engineer wants to experiment with the design and that means flexibility in the design process supporting the exploratory needs of design engineers.
- This is what Joshua Wales of Caprock Manufacturing have said after using Solid Edge… “It used to take me almost a day to make modification to imported design. Now with Synchronous Technology I am able to make those changes in less than an hour.”
- CAD should support the ease of modification of imported data, allowing designers to effectively make changes based on existing designs.. and not waste time being an expert in CAD
- What you are seeing are real product. This is new product modified from the existing original design using the Next Generation CAD – Solid Edge with Synchronous Technology.
- Radio frequency equipment maker Bird Technologies reduced new product design time 75 percent and was able to re-design existing models up to 180 times faster using Next generation CAD- Solid Edge with synchronous technology. Let’s listen to their story. <<partners- play the Bird technologies case study video here>> For Bird Technologies, Solid Edge is a business differentiator.
- We have talked about quite a few things today about exchanging design files. Let us quickly recap on the highlight of today’s discussion.
- Engineers have a wide range of responsibilities. Spending too much time in non-value added activities such as fixing design errors from imported models has negative implications. The reality of working with imported models is that it’s a COST in the organizational supply chain. Costs that need to be managed.
- The right technology can certainly help save time and cost associated in this process of importing design data. <<click>> Traditional CAD has limited ways to modify imported geometry. Next Generation CAD however is flexible and easier to use- making changes are direct and quicker.
- There are serious implication to the organization and the engineer if the organization continues to use traditional CAD that will hinders their design process.
- Traditional CAD is inefficient in dealing with imported geometry causing delays and missed deadlines. Inefficiencies lead to margin erosion.
- To the engineer this mean unnecessary personnel sacrifices- late nights, working weekends, all of which can effect job satisfaction and performance.
- So… again, the Reality is that organization need the right solution to deal with imported geometry. The chosen technology needs to be flexible, efficient and user friendly.
- The solution is Sold Edge with Synchronous Technology—the Next Generation CAD. It’s flexible, efficient and user friendly.
- Caprock and Bird Technologies are both a testament to achieving significant ROI from designing their products with Solid Edge.
