Rapid Pattern Making using ExactFlat for Apparel and Consumer Goods Design
The clothing and apparel design industry, while often deemed incredibly innovative in design risk-taking, is ironically simultaneously characterized as medieval in its resistance to change when it comes to the apparel manufacturing process. Of course, this is partly due to the fact that the product cycle (i.e. fashion season) is only 3-4 months at most….
Transparent Cloud Data Management facilitates innovation in Conceptual Design
Creating innovative product ideas requires an effective, unobtrusive approach to managing conceptual design data. Because conceptual design is a fast-paced, constantly-changing process, during which designers utilize trial-and-error approaches and “what if” scenarios to gain the understanding that leads to innovation, it requires a transparent data management solution. Instead of thinking about or anticipating what data…
Empowering Conceptual Design via the single modeling environment
Developing innovative design concepts is critically important to the success of product development organizations, large and small, because these ideas lay the foundation for future business success. Using conventional CAD software for conceptual design presents challenges because traditional modeling tools—developed to finalize designs and support manufacturing / assembly—constrain the freedom, flexibility, and creativity that drive…
Accelerate Design and Inspire Innovation with 3DEXPERIENCE Works
How do you accelerate design? Where do you get your design inspiration? From nature, product history or your own insight? Industrial designers need to capture ideas whenever and wherever they strike and easily share them with relevant stakeholders. Rather than add more tools to your already overflowing mixed bag of tricks, you need a unified…
Using Design Automation to Reduce Costs & Increase Profitability
By implementing DriveWorks design automation, engineer-to-order manufacturers can complete days of custom engineering in just minutes. Design automation also expedites and simplifies the creation of SOLIDWORKS® software models, drawings, quote documents, manufacturing data—virtually any requirement of the custom sales process. Across most industries today, profit margins are narrow and will continue to become even thinner….
