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.
“We have to launch a new variant in next 1 year and sales team has set us a target of 10% less cost than competition and ensure that there is performance improvement” this is a pretty common statement we hear in NPD briefing meetings. Because of either competitive nature of the business or as customer pressure, it is not new that that product cost reduction is one of the most discussed initiative in the organization.
