The real opponent of many projects is "TIME".
However, conventional development processes are often no longer able to keep pace with the dynamics of innovation.
According to common knowledge, about three-quarters of all errors occur in the early phase of product development. With traditional 2D design, 80% of these errors are not discovered until the end of the development process and must be costly corrected.
Using 3D CAD software, such as CATIA, a virtual, three-dimensional model is created.
CATIA, one of the most advanced and powerful design tools, enables the creation of even very complex models and documentation in a very short time.
With the help of subsequent processes, the virtual model can then be directly further processed (Digital Mock Up, FEM analysis, CNC milling, Rapid Prototyping, drawing creation).
Using Rapid Prototyping methods such as Laser Sintering, Laminated Object Manufacturing (LOM), or Stereolithography (STL), functional and visual models can be directly produced from the 3D data.
Naturally, the direct creation of CNC milling programs for component production is also fast and easy through special functionalities in CATIA.
