Concept Design
Next-Generation Concept Design Enabled by Digital Engineering
The nature of product design is changing rapidly. Customers expect sophisticated customization, while disrupted supply chains require alternate sources for materials and components. Manufacturers are under increasing pressure to maximize agility and minimize waste. Design was traditionally driven by human experience and creativity, with technology playing a limited role via discrete tools. But recent tech advancements have started to dramatically shift the role of technology in the design process.
MeshWorks, DEP’s flagship product, is an ideal tool for concept design studies of products such as automobiles, trains, aircrafts, and industrial products such as power tools and appliances. Concept design activities entails both structural and aesthetically pleasing work. To that end, the MeshWorks’ Computer Aided Surfacing module is a powerful tool for comparing two or more exterior design alternatives for a vehicle or product in order to assess aesthetic appeals.
