why we reinventthe wheel
hidden Costof reinvention
MakingReuse Easier
Recreating a design might seem like your best (or only) option when you can’t track down an existing file. but the hidden costs of reinventing the whell make design reuse worth effort, even if it takes more of your time
up front!
The Hidden valueof design Reuse
Accessing and modifying data in
non-native formats can be problematic
FindingInformation
is Hard
Data is inthe Wrong
FormatWe Need
To Innovate
24% of non-value added engineering time is spent searching for
information1
14% of non-value added engineering time is
spent recreating data you couldn’t find1
Innovation is crucial, but make sure you’re
innovating where it matters and adds
tangible business value
Reinventing designs makes
engineering less efficient
Engineers only spend 48% of their time on innovation and design work1
Reinventing designs kills downstreamproductivity and profitability
Reuse doesn’t have to be such a big tradeoff in time and effort.
There are ways to make reusing existing designs easier to find and reuse.
Duplicate inventory costs
money
Managing duplicate
designs cost time and money
Maintaining multiple CAD models costs
engineering time
New parts need to be
retested and revalidated
Product compliance data and
documentation must be recreated
Manufacturing setup costs
and time are duplicated
Product Management (PDM) makes data easier
to find
Top Performers are 2.6x as likely to be very effec-
tive at finding data2
CAD helps you reuse and modify legacy CAD
regardless of format
Consider 3D scanning to generate 3D for parts
without models
