|
Manual interpretation can cause inaccuracies |
| Design & Prototyping |
Direct 3D printing or CNC machining |
|
Requires extra conversion steps |
| Modifications |
Easy adjustments in CAD software |
|
Redrawing often needed |
| Collaboration |
Interactive models for better engagement |
|
Static drawings, less interactive |
| Simulation & Testing |
Supports stress, fluid, and mechanical tests |
|
No simulation capabilities |
| Manufacturing Integration |
Direct integration with CAM software |
|
Requires manual data conversion |
