We selected Inventor software from Autodesk to help us market and sell our expertise to our customers. Using Inventor, Bassam and Bashar can better educate their customers on their design concepts. He says there is no comparison to providing a 3D rotated view versus a 2D wire frame drawing. Typically, manufacturers approach PHED by showing actual parts that need to be assembled. Customers approach PHED because they need to reduce the costs of labor by buying a system that can assemble much faster than manual labor.
Some machines are very complex.
We were so impressed with how easy it was to use. Historically, I was a longtime, diehard 2D user. I didn't want to learn 3D solid modeling because I thought systems were too slow. Yet, after a one-week Inventor course, I was hooked and on my way to designing my first real system. There is no way that I would revert back to using 2D tools.
