 An engineering approach has not yet been
adopted where one can predict the manufacturability of a fabricated part and optimize the manufacturing process while in the design phase. Design manuals provide
some basic guidelines for formability evaluations, tool design, and blank configurations; however, the data is typically preliminary and a manufacturer must still rely
on the "trial-and-error" procedure. WED offers Surface/Solid Modeling services to assist in this area.
 3D Product Modeling will identify the
potential problems and develop cost effective solutions during the design phase before incurring major expenditures for tooling and manufacturing processes.
Eliminating or substantially reducing the manual prototyping will result in a major reduction in cost and cycle time. Using a computer to simulate prototyping takes less
time and cost less than using expensive manufacturing resources.
