In recent years, there has been a significant shift in mechanical design, with most engineers having transitioned to 3D CAD applications long ago. Despite this development, many electrical design departments continue to rely on 2D CAD software. This raises the question: does 2D still have a place in electrical design?
Potentially yes, but the overall trend in the industry is moving towards 3D electrical product design. This shift is driven by a desire for increased productivity and efficiency in the face of increasingly complex project requirements. At Trimatic Automation A/S, we have been pioneers in 3D electrical product design since its inception. Our early adoption of this technology has given us a significant advantage in meeting our customers’ growing expectations in a competitive market.
The Benefits of 3D Electrical Design
3D design offers several advantages that can transform how electrical design projects are executed:
- Efficient Workflow
3D design creates a more efficient workflow by eliminating many of the manual steps required in 2D design. It reduces the risk of errors and enables faster iteration cycles. - Clarity and Accuracy
With 3D design, engineers can create more accurate and error-free drawings. The visual clarity achieved with 3D models ensures that all stakeholders have a common understanding of the design. - Scalability in Busy Times
3D technology allows companies to scale effectively during busy periods. It is easier to adapt and expand existing designs to meet new requirements without starting from scratch. - Data Output for Cabinet Processing
3D models enable precise data extraction for cabinet processing, simplifying the production process and minimizing waste. - Data Output for Wire Harnessing
With 3D design, companies can generate accurate data for wire harnessing, ensuring that all components fit perfectly together in the final product.
