In this free, two-hour seminar you will learn how digital prototyping helps best in class manufacturers get to market faster while lowering costs. According to a recent study by the Aberdeen Group best-in-class manufacturers are getting to market 99 days faster and saving $50,000 in costs. Best-in-class manufacturers are not only using 3D, they are leveraging digital prototyping to reduce change orders and decrease the number of prototypes. Now you can learn how to start digital and stay digital.

What is Digital Prototyping?

Digital Prototyping gives manufacturers the ability to virtually explore a complete product before it is built - so they can create, validate, optimize, and manage designs from the conceptual design phase through the manufacturing process. By using a digital prototype, manufacturers can visualize and simulate the real-world performance of the design with less reliance on costly physical prototypes.

Seminar Objectives

3D is the foundation of digital prototyping, in this seminar you will learn:

  • How to convert 2D AutoCAD drawings into 3D models
  • How 3D is easier than you think
  • Control and reuse your data
  • How to validate your design before building it
  • Apply engineering principles to the design
  • Collaborate with others without breaking the digital pipeline
  • Utilize 3D models in the manufacturing process

Who should attend?

  • Owners
  • Presidents
  • Vice President of Engineering / Manufacturing
  • Engineering Manager
  • CAD Managers
  • Educators
  • Key Technology People
