How the Path to AI Can Unlock New Possibilitites for Designers

By

Human creativity and technological advancements have been two key factors helping designers unlock the full potential of 3D design. Artificial intelligence (AI) is opening up exciting new possibilities for designers and creators. Whether it is AI-driven generative design or AI-assisted modeling tools or workflows, it is helping designers push the boundaries of innovation.

These transformative technologies rely on leveraging vast amounts of data and captured knowledge and knowhow of connected users. This seamless relationship between designers and intelligent systems is definitely the future.

This relationship is unlocking many other benefits in the process. While AI is revolutionizing the world of 3D design, it is also empowering designers to achieve new levels of creativity and efficiency. It also provides many additional benefits. Let’s review two specific benefits in this blog.

  1.     Your data, your knowledge and knowhow

Your data, your knowledge, and knowhow are the most valuable assets your company has. They are the foundation of your products, services, and processes, and what provides a competitive advantage.

SOLIDWORKS and the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform are designed to help you create, manage and protect your data, knowledge, and knowhow. They provide a secure, centralized environment where you can not only create, but even store, share, and collaborate with others on your data. They also provide tools and features that help you to organize your data, find the information you need, and learn new things.

Here are some of the ways that SOLIDWORKS and the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform can help you manage and protect your data, knowledge, and knowhow:

  •          Store your data securely. Use this secure, centralized environment to safely store your data. This includes conceptual data stored in conversations, communities and 3D Whiteboards, 3D designs of your products, simulation and manufacturing data and any other derived data related to your designs.
  •          Share your data securely. SOLIDWORKS and the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform make it easy to share your data with others. You can share data using communities, conversations, 3D whiteboards, 3D designs, simulation results, manufacturing data, and even entire projects. You can also control who has access to your data and how they can use it, protecting your company’s IP.
  •          Collaborate on your data. Easily collaborate on your data with others in other disciplines. You can work on the same product or use it for downstream processes (e.g., simulation or manufacturing) at the same time. You can always see what others are working on so all aspects of the design are in synch.
  •          Organize your Data. Leverage provided tools and features that help you to organize your data. You can create bookmarks, folders, tags, and even rules that help you organize and structure your data in a way that you want.
  •          Find the information you need.  Use tools and features to help you to find the information you need by searching for people, data and projects using bookmarks, folders, tags or rules. You can use the platform’s built-in search engine to find any information stored on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform.
  •          Learn new things.  Access tutorials, videos, and even online courses. You can also use the platform’s built-in learning tools to help you learn new skills.

SOLIDWORKS and the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform are powerful tools that can help you to manage and protect your data, knowledge, and knowhow. By using these tools, you can ensure that your data is safe, secure, and accessible. You can also ensure that your knowledge and knowhow are organized and up-to-date.

  1.     Always together, always connected

In today’s world, it’s more important than ever to be able to stay connected with your team, no matter where they are. That’s why SOLIDWORKS and the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform are so valuable. With these tools, you can easily collaborate on 3D designs, share, and communicate with your team members in real time from anywhere.

SOLIDWORKS is a powerful 3D design software that allows you to create complex models of anything you can imagine. The 3DEXPERIENCE Platform is a cloud-based environment that provides a central hub for all of your SOLIDWORKS data and collaboration needs. With these two tools, you can work on your designs from anywhere, share them with anyone, and get feedback in real time.

Here are just a few of the ways that SOLIDWORKS and the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform can help you stay connected with your team:

  •          Collaborate on 3D designs in real time. You can start to collaborate on 3D designs with your team members, no matter where they are. You can all work on the same 3D design at the same time, and you’ll always be able to see what each other is working on.
  •          Share 3D designs easily. You can easily share 3D designs with your team members. You can save your 3D designs to the platform, and your team members can start to work on them. You can also create bookmark folders to manage your designs and share them with your team members.
  •          Communicate in real time. You can communicate with your team members in real time using comments, conversations or communities. You can use the platform’s conversation feature to send messages to your team members or the platform’s video conferencing feature to have face-to-face meetings with your team members.

If you’re looking for a way to stay connected with your team, SOLIDWORKS and the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform are a great option. With these tools, you can easily collaborate on 3D designs, share and communicate with your team members in real time.

In conclusion, the integration of AI into 3D design is ushering in a new era of possibilities and efficiency. The symbiotic relationship between designers and intelligent systems is already helping our connected users use their data, knowledge and knowhow in ways not possible before.

Further evolutions of AI-driven generative design and AI-assisted modeling tools will empower designers to unlock their full creative potential, enabling them to explore innovative solutions and optimize their designs with unprecedented speed and accuracy while giving them unforeseen benefits in the process.
