We created the design aid to illustrate that just because we manufacture parts really fast, it doesn’t mean you’re limited to certain features in the geometry of your part. Torus has a trio of interconnected sections, each highlighting features that serve various purposes in part design. Get a free Torus design aid today!
July 13, 2018 · The use of simulation in A&D has evolved from early experimentation to become a critical part of the product design and development cycle, so much so that the sheer amount of simulation data has become a management challenge. Companies are now looking to capitalize on all of that digital design and simulation data by connecting it to physical products, thereby creating a digital twin that can help improve predictive maintenance and inform future product designs. Other industries are now following A&D’s lead in simulation and building a digital thread.
