Detailed Design

Deliver high performing detailed design specifications

Detailed Design is the process of developing a fully defined product design from a clear set of requirements while creating deliverables and documentation appropriate for product manufacturing. Global competition, distributed product development, decreasing product development lifecycles, and increased product complexity put pressure on companies to improve their detailed design process to meet the increasing customer demands for innovative, high-quality products.

Today's detail design process presents enormous challenges. Most companies are operating in a distributed environment, requiring the coordination of design partners and multi-disciplined design teams across time zones and language barriers. Engineers must balance risk and trade-offs while rapidly delivering high performance detailed design specifications that work reliably and offer value. Changes to requirements are frequent and incorporating those changes into the design process in a managed and controlled way is difficult. Balancing requirements with cost and quality pressures further complicates the process. Design reuse and process automation would be a big help in streamlining what has become an increasingly complex process.

A good Product Development System (PDS) delivers all the essential tools for authoring and managing a complete digital product definition. High fidelity 3D product models are developed in a highly productive, Web-connected environment using industry-leading CAD/CAM/CAE capabilities that scale to meet the growing needs of your company. These high-fidelity models capture critical design, analysis and manufacturing information in a single master model, compressing the entire product development cycle.
