Engineering Design Technology – From Pencil Sketches to Digital Twins
It is rather interesting to delve into the history of almost anything! And this is especially true when we investigate the past of modern technology. If there is one thing that is galloping away at almost unbelievable speeds, it is engineering design. From the days of physical blueprints and sketches to today’s world filled with artificial intelligence and digital twins, the world of design has come a long way indeed.
What has changed?
If we were to ask you to describe the most fundamental changes that engineering design technology has gone through – what would you say?
Among the many fascinating changes, one of the most important paradigm shifts is the move from manual to digital. Engineers of yore did their best work by drawing sketches - actual sketches – pen, paper, et al. Today, a computer, thanks to Computer-aided design (CAD), can help an engineer design virtually anything including a digital twin.
This change is not limited to the visual outputs of design alone. It has also resulted in:
- Higher productivity
- Lower errors
- Greater sophistication
- Smarter collaboration
- More effective problem-solving
- Maximum precision
What else?
Engineering design technology has also grown in its fundamental nature. It is not restricted to simply building something. Technology enables engineers to work in tandem with experts from other fields to create truly human-centric solutions. For instance, a precision castings manufacturer like us can harness the power of advanced design tools to work with customers in diverse industries to create applications that are tailor-made for them.
Designs can undergo multiple iterations to incorporate
- Specific geometries
- Customised applications
- Material needs
- Climatic situations and so on.
It is safe and pertinent to state that engineering design technology is not just transforming the way we make castings but is refining the way we think. Design technology is helping us innovate, use more intelligent tools, and stay even more connected with our customers.
