“You adopt a better alternative when one arrives or is discovered; until then you continue using the one that has established the legacy.”
This is the story of 2D drawings being replaced by 3D models when a third dimension was added to engineering or industrial CAD designs which fabricators used. But today, fabrication industry needs both these features equally.
2D drawings are easy to generate but engineers prefer 3D models for complex applications and design generation. When both are easily achievable, they also are a choice of avoiding catastrophe in longer run. It basically demands foresight to decide and avail a smooth function of fabrication part of the engineering project and business applications on later stages.
2D Drawings: Two for one
To think that 2D drawing has been trashed out with the advent of 3D CAD modeling is far from reality. 2D drafting still has a very prominent place amongst the industrial product designers, and they have their own reasons for it.
2D is the…
