CAD Design Trends for 2021

March 12, 2021
Computer Aided Design (CAD) is a method in which computer technology is used for creating designs that can be influenced in numerous fields and industry verticals. In using CAD, various products are designed with precise measurements and design processes that can be adequately documented. 

Throughout the architecture and engineering industry, CAD has been evolving to be regarded as one of the most vital computerized designing methodologies that facilitate a wide range of manufacturing processes by transferring the comprehensive diagrams easily to a manufacturing and designing system. In this approach, 2D and 3D diagrams can now be produced and can be rotated at any angle to view the details from a particular perspective. Once the design is complete, a specialized printer or plotter is used to print the design renderings. As technology continues to update and evolve, CAD trends are also on the fast pace when it comes to ever changing industries, making work easier and faster. In this blog, we lay out the top design trends that you should expect to emerge that may dominate the design industry in the long run. 


Simulation 

This 2021, experts predict that simulation capabilities are essential, not a luxury. The industry views simulation as something needed to work but not for the cost and efficiency. It is because innovation drives positive business results. In the design process, innovation is more likely to occur when simulation results are available at the start rather than at the end. Moreover, due to the pandemic, engineers have been kept out of their work places, which further emphasizes the urgency of using simulations in 2021. 
For designers, using real-time simulations as part of their engineering tools allows for testing of basic scenarios and advancing their models, allowing specialists to spend more time on issues that need more special attention.  

Design using Artificial Intelligence (AI) 

Generative design is the new technology everyone is talking about and which experts predict will further expand in 2021. The idea about generative design is that early concept development and even final designs become faster, efficient, and more complete. Centered on design constraints, loads and materials, the system delivers optimized solutions that lead to more enhanced, higher-quality designs with proficient material usage, that creates impact on Cost of Goods Sold (COGS). Moreover, when the generative design tool uses the cloud, has a world-class engine, and is closely incorporated into the CAD tool, the extended compute power permits for multiple studies concurrently. 

Model-based Definition (MBD) 
This method is more pervasive because of an important strategic reason – the digital product model can be used throughout the enterprise from manufacturing to marketing to service and more. Additionally, companies will begin focusing on using 3D for various reasons.

First, it is avoidable to duplicate 2D on what you already have in 3D. In this way, you can avoid the risk of syncing 2D and 3D at the same time. 

Second, modern manufacturing is equipped directly working in 3D. It means that when manufacturing works directly from 3D, minimal errors will occur. 3D documentation provides clear assessments of quality requirements that is harder to understand in 2D. At the same time, other activities such as simulation, manufacturing process development, and service instruction development are all done under 3D’s standards. The design process is required to be absorbed in 3D allowing everyone to work with exactly the same information the design engineer has projected. 

Lastly, geometrical product specification will provide higher quality and greater collaboration between professionals of all types in the enterprise, as well as, greater efficiency. Keep in mind that all changes to a model ripple to all parts of the company. 

With the continuous technological innovations, companies should be able to adapt and should be able to provide to the everchanging needs of their clients. USCADD offers its clients direct access to extremely high-quality CAD designs and conversion services at affordable prices. We cater to clients’ low voltage systems design and layout needs. Using CAD building systems, we are able to use existing construction data to achieve an integrated, comprehensive, and consistent design.
