benefits of using 3D solid modeling

What are the biggest benefits for using 3D solid modeling to create new products?
Solid modeling is the unambiguous representation of the solid parts of an object, that is, models of solid objects suitable for computer processing. Primary uses of solid modeling are for CAD, engineering analysis, computer graphics and animation , rapid prototyping, medical testing, product visualisation and visualisation of scientific research. Solid modeling software creates a virtual 3D representation of components for machine design and analysis.

Interface with the human operator is highly optimised and includes programmable macros, keyboard shortcuts and dynamic model manipulation. The ability to dynamically re-orient the model, in real-time shaded 3-D , is emphasised and helps the designer maintain a mental 3-D image.

The productivity gains from 3D CAD software can increase a manufacturer’s competitiveness. Solid modeling shortens design cycles, streamlines manufacturing processes and accelerates product introductions by improving the sharing of product design information and communication throughout an organisation, as well as among its suppliers and customers .

Faster time-to-market and higher quality products translate into increased revenue, while reduced design costs provide larger profit margin. Engineers benefit from improved handling and visualisation of design data, leading to greater design innovation, testing and confidence.

Great article. I have started to create a lot of designs using solid works. I also use solidworks for patent drawings depending on the case.
