Design Automation

 

If your company designs many products that are different, but similar then Design Automation can save your engineers a great deal of time by producing variations on a standard design automatically.  Alignex offers multiple Design Automation solutions.  Let us discover the right solution to fit your specific needs. It is estimated that 65% of all 3D Mechanical Design users can benefit from Design Automation in some way.  A moderate investment of time can return hundreds of hours in saved design time over a product lifetime.  By letting automated systems calculate the tedious designs, engineers can innovate new designs.
