Using Inventor, Bassam and Bashar can better educate their customers on design concepts. He says there is no comparison to providing a 3D rotated view versus a 2D wireframe 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. For instance, if one assembly worker can assemble 10 parts per minute, a machine can assemble between 50 to 1,000 parts per minute.
Some machines are very complex.
We were so impressed with how easy it was to use. Historically, I was a long-time, 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 to using 2D tools.
