The third challenge for an effective collaboration visualization solution is it must be platform independent and available not only on desktop and laptop computers but also run in the cloud for use on a wide range of mobile devices including work tablets and smart phones. Requiring the use of a full CAD license to view product models fails because of the sophisticated nature of CAD applications’ interfaces-they are too difficult to learn to use and require substantial training. The collaborative visualization solution must be intuitive and easy to use. The second challenge is closely related to the first. Nor can they ask their suppliers and customers to purchase CAD licenses.
No company, especially small- to medium-sized businesses, can afford to purchase CAD licenses for all the potential downstream users who need to view and work with the CAD model and drawing data. The business environment for new product development faces three major challenges that must be overcome to provide a successful collaborative visualization solution. An effective collaboration visualization solution, however, requires extensive capabilities beyond just viewing. Initial entry into collaborative visualization begins with the ability to leverage design engineering’s virtual CAD models and share them with downstream technical and business organizations, the supply chain, and customers.
A successful CAD collaboration visualization solution must be cost effective, easy to use, and platform independent.
