Simulate to Innovate and Save
Innovate & Save Money don't pay the Price for Bad Design
The drive to reduce time to market and increase the speed of innovation increases risk and can lead to defects in products. The importance of getting to market fast is well established however, accuracy, minimum risk, and without flaws, are powerful needs that when met lead to large cost savings. Defects detected by end users of your products cause not only financial loss but damage to your brand as well.
AUTODESK® recently published data on the costs associated with "Bad Design". The below infographic is based on 2011 statistics where AUTODESK® explores how bad design leads to lost opportunities. 3D product design software gives you the ability to design, visualize, and simulate your product virtually, which leads to cost savings and better designed products.
While there are many tools available for 3D product design and virtual product development they are only a part of the process. To fully realize the benefits of these tools they must be coupled with a depth and breadth of experience in product design and engineering. Tools are only as good as the person using them. Skilled and experienced engineers produce greater insight into the solution space for the answers to difficult questions. These insights lead to knowledge that can be leveraged over time, from idea to sales, building brands that matter. As AUTODESK® points out there is a lot of money wasted on bad designs. But if true savings are to be achieved an investment in tools is not enough. The right tools, in the right hands, leads to the right answers that achieve multiple benefits throughout the product development process.
