Designcenter
Designcenter provides an integrated environment for product development, combining mechanical, electrical, process and automation engineering capabilities. It helps engineering teams move efficiently from product concept and detailed design through validation, manufacturing preparation and industry-specific engineering processes.
A Unified Environment for Product Development
Modern products involve much more than mechanical CAD. Designcenter brings together multiple engineering disciplines and specialised capabilities, allowing teams to develop, analyse, validate and prepare products for manufacturing within a more connected engineering workflow.
Mechanical
Support product design, model-based definition, knowledge reuse, design validation and other mechanical engineering activities required for developing complex products.
Electrical
Integrate electrical systems, routed systems and PCB-related engineering into the overall product development process for better multidisciplinary collaboration.
Process
Prepare tooling, fixtures, manufacturing information and industry-specific processes to create a stronger connection between engineering and production.
Automation
Capture engineering knowledge, automate repetitive activities and support repeatable design processes to improve productivity and engineering consistency.
From Product Design to Manufacturing
Designcenter supports important engineering activities throughout the product development lifecycle.
Product Design
Develop product concepts and detailed 3D engineering models.
Model-Based Definition
Communicate engineering and manufacturing information through intelligent digital product definitions.
Knowledge Reuse
Capture proven engineering practices and reuse them across future product development programs.
