Unlocking the Secrets to Designing Faster, Smarter, and Lighter
1 like479 views
This webinar presentation aimed to discuss how new design tools can help engineers design products that are faster, smarter, and lighter. The agenda included introductions, discussing the growing need for lightweight design, new tools that enhance the design process, how to design for additive manufacturing, real-world customer examples, and a live software demo. Some key points were that lightweight design can lower costs through reduced material usage and development time. A new tool called Inspire was highlighted, which can quickly generate structurally efficient concepts and has helped customers reduce weight by 20-55% in their designs. The presentation concluded with a Q&A.
