2. Moving to digital
Whilst 34% of concept design ideas are initially captured
on paper, a greater proportion are recorded electronically.
You know why you want to digitalise your concept
development process - the question now is
2D or 3D?
7. • Most 2D tools are geared towards creating
engineering drawings
2D Cons
Less suited to
concept design
8. • 2D softwares tend to focus on individual
drafting entities, rather than facilitating the
consideration of alternative design options
2D Cons
Harder to explore
alternative ideas
9. 2D Cons
Difficult to use for
prototyping
• Digital prototyping is unreliable
• Unsuitable for rapid prototyping
16. • 3D CAD applications are usually designed
for locking down the form and fit of final
designs, not capturing and maturing
concept designs
3D Cons
Intended for detailed
design work
17. • The risk of this is particularly applicable to
users of parametric feature-based
modelers
3D Cons
Interdependences
and potential failures
18. • Many recent CAD tools deploy different
files for different design parts, when at the
concept development stage you are likely
to want just a single, whole representation
3D Cons
Multiple files
19. Did you know?
59% of respondents
recreate part of the design
because design tool formats
aren’t compatible?
20. Creo 2.0
An integrated solution
Harness the benefits of both 2D and 3D to
get your concept development job done –
then move seamlessly into the detailed
design phase.
