With advances in design and 3D CAD software, prototypes can now easily come alive on a computer screen. Modern workflows have ushered in a new class of richly functional applications that have redefined what can be designed in a given length of time.\u00a03D modeling<\/a>\u00a0has resolved many shortcomings associated with outdated processes and has increased functionality across design teams. Let\u2019s explore a few ways in which 3D modeling and 3D CAD software have vastly improved the design process.<\/p>\n

1. Costs savings<\/h2>\n
\"money-plant-in-jars\"<\/figure>\n

Traditional 2D modeling makes it difficult to get a true feel for a design\u2019s form factor during the\u00a0prototyping<\/a>\u00a0stage of design. This forces product designers to manufacture prototype after prototype to reflect every noteworthy design change. Thus resulting in heavy resource costs, which magnify at scale when developing multiple products simultaneously. Ultimately, companies would likely prefer to save these raw materials for actual production.<\/p>\n

3D modeling breathes life into the prototyping process. Designers can manipulate their models and inspect them from every angle in a digital environment before producing a physical prototype. Teams are no longer restricted to \u201cflat\u201d design, making it much easier to evaluate tweaks without expending resources.<\/p>\n

2. Quick flaw recognition<\/h2>\n

Spotting design weaknesses becomes much easier when people can apply other layers (and tests) to designs in real time. Take stress mapping, for example, where colored topography highlights areas of concern. This is key for products exposed to different stressors like heat, pressure, and torsion.<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s designs incorporate a variety of different geometries\u2014complex shapes are the new norm. Unfettered inspection of models allows product designers to inspect every nook and cranny of a design, ensuring each imperfection is identifiable and correct for the next iteration.<\/p>\n

3. Ease of use and efficiency<\/h2>\n

Digital design makes it easy to quickly apply a host of changes to each iteration, which usually involves only a click, selection, or toggle. The improved visualization offered through 3D modeling allows the user to preview these changes from all perspectives, making it easy to verify physical and functional changes and sharpen aesthetics.<\/p>\n

While traditional 2D designs are cumbersome and take longer to make, 3D modeling allows the production of newer versions in under 15 minutes (especially with tools like\u00a0configurations in Autiodesk Fusion<\/a>). The exceptional user-friendliness of CAD tools like Fusion reduces the software learning curve, keeping teams agile and reducing training time.<\/p>\n

4. Unparalleled detail and accuracy<\/h2>\n

3D models let teams construct any shape imaginable while retaining production capability and help visions come together with relative ease. 3D modeling provides a level of design depth that rough sketches or 2D designs cannot, such as improved control over details.<\/p>\n

On the collaboration side, meticulous details make it easier to convey the specifics behind a given design. Design teams are no longer in silos. With tools like Fusion, they can easily communicate with other teams and stakeholders in real time. 3D models also let teams inject more detail, thus helping everyone stay on the same page from idea to production.<\/p>\n

Why Autodesk Fusion?<\/h2>\n

3D tools are inherently modern, and remote work is the hallmark of the modern age. Intuitive, user-friendly solutions like\u00a0Fusion<\/a>\u00a0allow team members to communicate from afar \u2014 via real-time collaboration tools like commenting, annotations, and more. Being out of the office doesn\u2019t mean team members have to be out of the loop. Cloud software lets you pump out design after design without being constantly at your desk.<\/p>\n

Autodesk Fusion is for professional product designers and hobbyists alike. In addition to standard 3D modeling tools, Fusion offers an extensive list of additional features. These include\u00a0parametric design<\/a>, electronics design, generative design, 3D printing capabilities, and more. It also offers a variety of\u00a0plugins and extensions<\/a>\u00a0to make your 3D modeling workflow even more seamless.<\/p>\n
