18 THE RS 3D CAD PROGRAMME

19 Electronics Design – Why is 3D Design Important?

Electronic Engineers tell us…  “eCAD and mCAD worlds merging”  “‘Fashion conscious’ customer demand aesthetic and functional requirements”  “Availability of electromechanical 3D models is limited at best”  “Availability of models would sway the choice of component”

How the market is evolving  Modern PC processing power enables 3D modelling for the masses  Availability of reasonably priced software  Many eCAD tools have integrated 3D viewers  Vast majority of eCAD tools output an IDF file that can imported into mCAD suites Industrial Design – Why is 3D Design Important?

“Digital prototyping”  Designs ‘built’ in a virtual environment before committing to manufacture, saving time and money on costly redesigns Machine & Panel  Decreases time to market Builders Bid & Concept Modelling  Contractors producing digital designs more likely to win business  Collaborative approach taken with customers
