Before computer-aided design software made its entry in the industrial sector, turning a design concept into reality was difficult. Now that the world has been using CAD software for the last 3 or more decades, drafting and designing mechanical components have become a routine task. Moreover, it has also made feasible conceptualizing and prototyping in real time. Despite these advantages, there were still a few limitations of 2D modeling. Engineers were not able to gauge, animate, and view a model in three dimension. That’s when the need of 3D solidwork modeling aroused. 3D modeling has changed the experience of product design and development.

PROTOTYPING
Any CAD service provider will vouch for ease, flexibility, and economic of prototyping products with 3D modeling. Unlike 2D images, 3D models offer different views and dimensions and to test for volume production. From developing design concepts of a component to the final creation of prototype, product designing and engineering with 3D CAD modeling had made possible in handling any technical intricacies.

CHANGING ENGINEERING DESIGN
While visualizing engineering designs was as it is tough, making changes in them was more challenging or rather impossible. 3D solidwork modeling offer engineers that flexibility to make minute and large changes in designs. This means, facilitating and expediting design process without investing much time, inflating engineering costs, and optimizing productivity has become possible for product development service provider.

MEASUREMENTS
There was a need to measure weight, height, depth, and diameter of mechanical components before prototyping. This was not possible with 2D software. Consequently, the need to have a better software that can help in gauging products and offering firsthand experience was felt. With 3D modeling software, engineers can view products in actual dimensions. With 3D CAD drawing service, potential customers can actually measure and compare products with existing components.

DESIGN COMMUNICATION
Any design starts from hand-drawn sketches. However, to transform that sketches into real-time modeling was out of reach. With 2D images, it was difficult for manufacturers to visualize and compare the end products with the sketches. When 3D scanning service entered the scenario, manufacturers could easily review their designs. They were able to change drawings into computerized models and view product geometries.

360 DEGREE VIEW
Manufacturers needed to view a product from different angles so that they can analyze its dimensions and other physical features before sending it for high volume production. Equally important was to ascertain the looks with packaging of the end product. Since 2D images couldn’t fulfill their demand, it fanned the need for 3D modeling. As 3D models offered them flexibility for 360 degree views, manufacturers can see physical features of a product along with packaging from different views. When their knowledge on the need of 3D solidwork modeling improved, manufacturers resorted to CAD outsourcing service.

ANIMATION
With features such as animation incorporated into 3D CAD modeling software, manufacturers can view the functions a product can perform. It also helps in marketing the product better since customers can virtually see the usage and functions of products.

Thus, 3D solidwork modeling can fulfill all the needs of manufacturers to create prototype products by saving time and money on production costs. The product design service by Zeal CAD can handle complex geometries and final creation and turn design concepts into reality.
