3D CAD Modelling

Creates a virtual 3-D model of the product, allowing an initial idea or concept to be fully understood, discussed and developed in full detail. The nature of the 3D model allows design ideas to be trialed and changes to be made rapidly, speeding the design process and reducing the cost of exploring innovative ideas. Models produced in this step are useful for many other steps: - photo-realistic rendering, detail engineering analysis, rapid prototypes, design and make production tooling
