aesthetica - bridging the gap between concept, design and manufacturing
<span class="style1"> <strong>aesthetica</strong> is a unique software tool that combines high quality real-time design visualisation using digital modeling and tolerance analysis to give you greater insight into the visual impact of manufacturing variation on Perceived Quality.<br> <br> Using accurate visual simulations, it provides everyone involved at the different milestones in the product development process with a clear understanding of the effects of component variation and deformation in manufactured assemblies. <br> <br> <strong>aesthetica</strong> allows you to see what the customer will see. You will be able to identify critical engineering issues and bring them openly to the table, so that you can resolve conflicts and concerns early. You will be able to make faster, more effective decisions about whether or not the tolerance conditions and variation are acceptable.<br> <br> <strong>Greater collaboration</strong><br> <br> Designers and engineers will have a common platform to communicate using a digital model as the basis for discussions.<br> <br> Designers can gauge the visual impact to see if it still satisfies their original aesthetic requirements and try what-if scenarios to find the best result. Engineers can interactively edit the tolerances and see the results immediately on the digital model. <br> <br> This type of approach allows you to arrive quickly at a compromise solution and to achieve highest visual quality result – ie as close to the ideal as possible. <br> <br> <strong>Reduced time, cost and risk</strong><br> <br> <strong>aesthetica</strong> will help you to resolve your concerns and Perceived Quality issues by shifting the emphasis away from time-consuming statistical research and physical prototyping and towards early digital modeling and production processes. You can view all your areas of concern, find the real issues, visualizing the entire model and not just points or individual components.<br> <br> Creating and modeling variations in real-time will allow you to identify tolerance clashes when the cost of change low. You can try out potential solutions using the ‘virtual’ model rather than having to wait until the first physical build using production tooling. Errors will be reduced. The development process will be improved and shortened. <br> <br> <strong>Increased confidence</strong><br> <br> Your confidence in getting it right first time will be increased by having earlier confirmation of manufacturing feasibility – what can and cannot be achieved as well as what the final product will look like, from a visual quality perspective.</span>
