How advanced technologies in product design, analysis, validation and manufacturing help companies build better products faster, economical and better than before.

DesignTech Systems Ltd, a leading name in CAD/CAM/CAE, PLM and Additive Manufacturing technologies provider, organised a technology seminar “Achieve Product Excellence through technology Impetus” in Mumbai recently. The aim of this event was to showcase the latest and most advanced technologies in product design, analysis, validation and manufacturing to help companies build better products faster, economical and better than before. Using these technologies, companies can not only achieve their product design and manufacturing goals, but through PLM solutions, can also set-up well streamlined and optimised work processes to attain maximum efficiency.

In course of the presentations, DesignTech demonstrated technologies at every stage of product lifecycle starting from concept development, 3D modelling and validation, product design analysis and simulation, rapid prototyping, alternative production technologies, to PLM for managing and optimising the entire product design.

Guest speakers like Mr J Arul Regan, Executive (R&D), IFB Industries Ltd, highlighted on how they are utilising Stratasys 3D printing technology to develop aesthetically appealing and functionally superior products in lesser time and costs. 3D printed models help IFB identifying design error and saving time in development cycle, which forms a major part of product design related decision process.

Mr Abdul Kalam S from Sridevi Tool Engineers explained how Siemens NX technology helped build accurate mould designs, reduced design cycle time by 50 per cent and increase profitability through improved mould making technology. Mr Atul L Godse – Technical Head – Ansycad Solutions presented on advantages of using Altair CAE suite of solutions for various product streams. He emphasised on how Altair HyperWorks solutions can be best used to increase product development quality. Dr M Shiva Shankar, MDS – Director, Confident Dental Laboratory Pvt Ltd, shared SLM’s Metal 3D Printing solutions comprehensive presentation on Applications of 3D printing technology in dental industry and how metal 3D printing technology is going to become an integral part of work process at dental labs.

Mr Vikas Khanvelkar, Managing Director, DesignTech Systems Ltd, was thrilled at the excellent turn out of engineering fraternity for this event. “Companies today have to constantly reinvent themselves and invest heavily into research and development to build innovative products that would appeal to the consumers better than the competition. Shrinking product life cycles, growing imperative to develop innovative products faster and better than the competition, higher bargaining power of the consumers has necessitated the companies into product design and development to adopt these latest technologies in product design and manufacturing. These technologies can help companies compress their design and development cycle, build better products faster than before, and hit the market early with smarter products that perform up to consumers expectations,” he said.

Speaking on the occasion, Mr Sanjay Daga, President – Operations at DesignTech Systems, said, “DesignTech has been a pioneer in popularising and promoting the use of latest technologies in the field of product design and development amongst the engineering Industry in India right from late 90s. During the 90s, when the CAD technology was revolutionising the way products were designed, DesignTech was one of the forerunners to popularise is among the engineering industry. Today, when the Government of India is striving to promote the country globally as the preferred destination for product engineering and manufacturing, indigenous companies will have to build their infrastructure to match the global standards of engineering excellence. Through shows like these, we demonstrate the capabilities of the latest, the most advanced and proven technologies in product design, development and manufacturing that can help companies achieve their goals of product performance quality, aesthetics, while optimising the costs of development.”
