Are you benefiting from producing concept models?

As engineers and designers we have access to some very complex tools to aid the design process and therefore allow us to enhance and evaluate our final product quickly. Being able to develop a three‐dimensional model using CAD software helps us to better visualise the product and evaluate the design. But, what is even better is a 3D physical concept model. Concept models work well because most people find it far easier to comprehend an actual physical object than they do an abstract idea.

This allowing them to engage additional senses like touch & feeling of the product which helps in the overall communication and understanding of the concept. The concept model also helps to carry out the important market research early in the product life cycle and ensures fit, form & function is achieved from the design.
