  1. Innovation in CAD Design: Barriers and potential Andrew Lowe

  2. The 30 year comparison • Manufacturing has changed drastically • CNC • Six-Sigma quality control • Defect-free manufacturing • Lean manufacturing • The design process • New tools, old processes

  3. Explaining the gap • Resistance to change • Skilled vs. Unskilled labor • Who has a say in the process? • Who is easier to replace? • Quantifying ROI • Direct effect on revenue streams • Short term, per-project focus • Relative percentage of product lifecycle

  4. What potential is being ignored? • Full parametric modeling • Systems integration • Automation

  5. Parametric modeling • Dimensions defined by reference • More effective concurrent design • Drive model creation by critical features • Total model reuse

  6. Systems integration • Network to every part of product lifecycle • PDM backbone • Full use of data • Data-driven design • Data sharing between applications

  7. Automation • Capability in every CAD package • Anything repetitive can be automated • Massive time savings • Increased process control • Increased quality • Aid to design reuse and systems integration

  8. Conclusions and predictions • Aerospace industry would be best host • Difficult to implement for large companies • Legacy Data • Bureaucracy • Newer, smaller companies, however…
