With arguably some of the world’s most complex product development programs, aerospace and defense manufacturers are experiencing considerable pressure to contain escalating product costs as they innovate using the latest materials and manufacturing processes. As a result, extensive cost down initiatives and value engineering activities commenced after initial product release.
What if you could:
- Simulate manufacturing processes during design to identify expensive features and manufacturability issues directly from your 3D CAD models?
- Evaluate design trade-off decisions to reduce cost in real time?
- Reduce late stage design churn and Engineering Change Orders (ECOs) by getting it right the first time?
- Improve your negotiating position with suppliers through increased visibility to costs?
Watch this on demand webinar to learn How to Integrate Cost Analysis in the Design Phase.
