Reverse engineering makes use of an existing object to generate a new one. Often the new object is an improvement over the design of the old one, or, it may be an identical part needed to replace a malfunctioning part in a machine.

“Blocking out” the overall shape of a 3D model is one of the more tedious parts of designing. Initially, engineers have to take a simple shape, such as a sphere and transform it into the shape needed for their model. This initial process can take hours, but with having direct reference to build from models are able to appear similar to their desired outcome within minutes. Other products allow for engineers to import in reference to build from. This means purchasing more software to draw in, which in turn costs the company more money. For cost efficiency and quicker results, SolidWorks seems to be a viable option for engineering companies looking for a different route from Autodesk’s AutoCAD.

The best way to describe a Plant Information Management System is through a comprehensive system called INFOplant that is already available from SST Systems, Inc.

If you’re part of a design team, you know how important Product Data Management (PDM) can be. There are seven reasons why PDM is so important:

Facilities Management (FM) is a field that encompasses many different disciplines to ensure efficient functioning of buildings. FM usually includes the coordination of space, people, organization and infrastructure and is frequently associated with the administration of office buildings, sports arenas, schools, manufacturing complexes, convention centers, shopping centers, hospitals, hotels, and other similar facilities. Facilities Management is used to manage a built environment with an integration of people, place, process, and technology.
