Concept To Production
Download as PPTX, PDF0 likes542 views
The document outlines a process for taking a product concept designed in SolidWorks all the way through to production. The process involves laying out the initial 2D concept, adding standardized components from a library, finalizing the design, generating manufacturing drawings from the model, and using the model to efficiently produce illustrations for product manuals. The goal is to automate the design process as much as possible using SolidWorks to ensure efficiency and repeatability.
Concept To Production
- 1. Prepac – Concept to ProductionUsing SolidWorks to automate the design process, through to product manuals and final drawingsGOALTo ensure the CAD system will match the company workflow with the most efficiencyand repeatability built in
- 2. Layout the concept in 2-D
- 3. Start to add components
- 5. Add standard library featuresProfile C1
- 6. Easily review & change the design
- 7. Add and modify library drawerAll associated drawings& BoM will update
- 8. Finalize the design - milestone
- 10. Use models for technical illustrationsEfficiently produce vector images for manuals which are linked to the SolidWorks modelsMake sure arrow faces toward hole for twister dowel
