Teaching Old Designs New Tricks

By Kathleen Shepherd | Published: May 17, 2013

Question: What do the QWERTY keyboard, the railroad, and shoelaces have in common? Answer: Their inventors are long gone. The QWERTY keyboard was the brainchild of American inventor Christopher Latham Sholes. He died in 1890, but if your left ring finger lands naturally on the letter “s”—thank Sholes. The railroad evolved much more slowly than […]

Exploring more concept designs with PTC Creo

By Geoff Hedges | Published: Dec 7, 2012

Concept design is one of the most important phases of product development.  Clearly, much of the creative and innovative process takes place during this phase, but it also has business consequences that may not be so apparent. For example, concept design determines up to 75% of total product development costs. Furthermore, introducing major changes after […]

Do Parametric and Direct Modeling Mix? (Part 1)

By Geoff Hedges | Published: Nov 8, 2012

During product design, teams are often forced to compromise when it comes to using CAD software. Most users are limited to one 3D modeling paradigm – either parametric or direct – for all jobs. Recently, however, vendors have begun to offer CAD tools that they say provide both paradigms. Unfortunately, these tools typically require you […]

Passing the Baton: Ensuring Problem-free Design Hand-offs

By barb schmitz | Published: Jul 30, 2012
baton

Today’s complex products require the careful coordination of multiple disciplines. Mechanical engineers tasked with creating the overall product, while the electrical engineers must simultaneously design and lay out the internal electronics that provide many of today’s products with their functionality. Once those subsystems are complete and packaging or enclosure design finalized, the product model must […]
