Shorten design and engineering cycles by using 3D CAD Standards
In a world of intensifying pressures on engineering teams to work faster and smarter, many recognize the efficiency and consistency that comes from the digital interoperability of adopting industry standard 3D CAD wherever possible. An estimated 45% of a design engineer’s time is spent searching or recreating CAD models of parts for designs, an inefficiency that engineering teams cannot afford. Not only do engineering teams benefit from the confidence in using trusted and authoritative 3D CAD versions of standards from AIA/NAS, ASME and SAE, knowing revision history of those 3D CAD Standard parts, but they also benefit from consistently using the same CAD models across CAD platforms.
Utilizing 3D CAD Standards from AIA/NAS, ASME and SAE can help:
- Engineers can find parts faster by geometry, similarity, sketch, dimensions and more
- Dramatically reduce part costs by identifying and using industry standard parts
- Accelerate design cycles and increase part reuse by designing in industry standard parts
- Control the selection, specification and purchase of industry standard parts across the organization
- Shorten procurement cycles by eliminating unnecessary new part introduction. Industry standard parts are often proven best practice and best option, less expensive, and open to more strategic sourcing
- Quickly and easily add 3D industry standard parts to the CAD library, share with others, publish internally, or reference within internal engineering specifications to drive consistency, repeatability and scalability across the organization
