High-End CAD Software Can Deliver at Every Level
December 27, 2011
Steven M. Samuel P.E. made a smart analogy in his article “The Value of High-End CAD Software” where he compares CAD software to a professional race team. People, product and competition are the keys in both racing and product design. If one area is lacking, then end result will be less than desirable. However, if everything is hitting on all cylinders, then Samuel is right that the value is indeed high.
The top companies almost always use high-end CAD software, but smaller companies who are not making jet engines or automobiles often rely on mid-range CAD systems which are unable deliver at the same level. However, the article explains that these companies:
must realize that the nature of design automation is such that even simple geometry can be created much more quickly with software over which you have full control, with all the latest design automation technology.
The value of high-end design software “will get your product to the market sooner, with less risk, less cost, and better quality.”
We agree that a high-end CAD program is worth its weight in gold, but the problem is that locating high value assets is often overlooked. The financial burden of inefficient search and retrieval adds friction to an otherwise smooth operation. Fortunately, Inforbix has not only simplified the approach to data access, but has done it in a cost effective way. It is certainly time for CAD users of any level to check out Inforbix’s product data solutions. With their help, you will finally have that well oiled machine you have always been looking for.
