2D drawings have limited usability due to their high technical detailing. 3D CAD workflows allow industrial product designers and manufacturers to speed up design development with comprehensive design information and a single source of truth for all stakeholders.
2D CAD drawings are the actual blueprint of the conceptualized product design. Only shop floor technicians are well-versed in interpreting them accurately. The frontline staff or customers will often struggle to interpret these technical drawings and therefore the usage of 2D drawings is limited to technical teams.
Given these limitations, manufacturing and design firms are increasingly moving away from traditional 2D processes and embracing 3D CAD drawings and models. 3D workflows rope in all stakeholders for product design finalization as against 2D and enable seamless communication.
3D CAD drawings allow every stakeholder to:
- Communicate design intent clearly across teams
- Visualize the concept clearly and provide feedback…
