2d vs-3d-concept-design-pros-and-cons
- 2. Moving to digital Whilst 34% of concept design ideas are initially captured on paper, a greater proportion are recorded electronically. You know why you want to digitalise your concept development process - the question now is 2D or 3D?
- 3. 2D Pros
- 4. • what you used to draw on paper is simply drawn on a computer instead using a keyboard and mouse 2D Pros Same graphical representation
- 5. • Once your concept is in electronic format, you can share it quickly with colleagues globally 2D Pros Easier collaboration
- 6. 2D Cons
- 7. • Most 2D tools are geared towards creating engineering drawings 2D Cons Less suited to concept design
- 8. • 2D softwares tend to focus on individual drafting entities, rather than facilitating the consideration of alternative design options 2D Cons Harder to explore alternative ideas
- 9. 2D Cons Difficult to use for prototyping • Digital prototyping is unreliable • Unsuitable for rapid prototyping
- 10. 3D Pros
- 11. • less misinterpretation • reduces downstream errors 3D Pros Removes design ambiguity
- 12. • As with 2D, electronic sending is easy 3D Pros Sharing is simple
- 13. • Leveraging existing 3D models to evolve into new concept designs is straightforward 3D Pros Easier design re-use
- 14. • 3D modelling is highly appropriate for rendings and simulation 3D Pros Suitable for digital prototyping
- 15. 3D Cons
- 16. • 3D CAD applications are usually designed for locking down the form and fit of final designs, not capturing and maturing concept designs 3D Cons Intended for detailed design work
- 17. • The risk of this is particularly applicable to users of parametric feature-based modelers 3D Cons Interdependences and potential failures
- 18. • Many recent CAD tools deploy different files for different design parts, when at the concept development stage you are likely to want just a single, whole representation 3D Cons Multiple files
- 19. Did you know? 59% of respondents recreate part of the design because design tool formats aren’t compatible?
- 20. Creo 2.0 An integrated solution Harness the benefits of both 2D and 3D to get your concept development job done – then move seamlessly into the detailed design phase.
