Research Rap: A Bit more on 2D versus 3D
June 18, 2008
A quick peek back into some research on ... moving to 3D design software 
discusses the the approaches that best help companies move from 2D to 3D design. The last post on moving to 3D design brought up some good conversation. I was mentioning it to some other research analysts in the PLM and Engineering Software community to get their impressions, and two facts became clear:
- Not everybody needs (or wants) to move to 3D.
- Those that want to face obstacles, including carbon-based (people) obstacles as well as silicon-based (technical challenges)
Regardless, there are some significant advantages to 3D as the recent conversation (and the research) point out. Today, I thought I would at least try to put some facts around how much 2D versus 3D CAD people are using. I asked my old friends from Aberdeen and, guess what:
The answer is "all of the above." Who knew? Actually, it makes sense (and even beyond simply generating drawings). Some good conversation around this topic, thank you. Let us know what it looks like from your perspective.
