Some Typical Problems Faced Using 2D?

What are some typical problems faced using 2D? With 2D drawings, engineers and manufacturing personnel have to interpret or visualise flat 2D drawing as a 3D assembly. At times, interpreting 2D drawings results in misinterpretation of the engineer’s original design intent, leading to delays .

The design and manufacturing process is needlessly extended as all these processes analysis , prototyping, stereolithography, manufacturing , fabrication and assembly - require 3D solid geometry. Additional time is required to manage and recreate design data. (Vice-president , Asia Pacific Operations, SolidWorks Corporation)
