A composite material is a material which is created from two or more constituent materials. These constituent materials have different chemical & physical properties and are combined to create a material with properties unlike the individual materials. Within the finished structure, the individual elements remain separate and distinct, distinguishing composites from mixtures and solid solutions. …
Great designs result in great products. Every company wants their products to be the best in quality, functionality, and user experience. Along with ever-shorter supply chain lead times, it leaves little room for design engineers to get it right. Manufacturing brands in Aerospace & Defense, Healthcare & Automotive among others use several processes for high-volume, …
PTC has introduced multibody modeling one of the essential enhancements in Creo Parametric 7.0 and above. Overview of Multibody Modeling: Before introducing multibody functionality in Creo parametric, if two features or their geometry intersected, these intersected geometry volumes were merging with each other. In the case of complex casting design, for creating interior cavity portion, …
DFMPro helps focus on a holistic design approach and assists designers in utilizing the saved time to improve design, find alternate methods, etc. Using DFMPro along with other simulation tools and capturing learnings from the simulation as best practices helps reduce design iterations required for optimization.
To truly reduce engineering rework, a smart automated DFM tool should be implemented. Tools like DFMPro can easily automate the design for manufacturing guidelines within your CAD software and automatically review designs for downstream manufacturability, supplier capability, assembly, cost, quality etc. Designers can quickly ensure whether their designs can be easily manufactured, who is the best supplier to manufacture it, and whether if any design feature will increase the cost significantly.
