| Mundus Group Inc. announces that Roadable Aircraft’s VTOL technology and newly-patented designs are being designed and tested using Autodesk Inventor. The engineering firm’s decision to upgrade came from chief design engineer, Michael Boehm, “ From Boeing C-17s to Hummers and Toyotas, Autodesk Inventor is helping manufacturers design and build vehicles by giving them a true digital prototype work directly with the Inventor 3D model”. Digital Prototyping gives manufacturers the ability to virtually explore a product that is completed before it is built. This allows them to create, validate, optimize, and manage designs from the conceptual design phase through the manufacturing process. By using a digital prototype, Roadable Aircraft can visualize and simulate real-world performance of the design with less reliance on costly physical prototypes. The Autodesk Digital Prototyping Solution enables manufacturing workgroups to create a single digital model that can be used in every stage of production, bridging the gaps that usually exist between conceptual design, engineering, and manufacturing teams. Inventor has decreased design time on rework or work-in-progress for crucial projects, reduced errors by 50 percent on initial designs through better visualization and achieved “firsttime- right” design during tight lead times. “It provides the technology to help us build fewer physical prototypes, reducing design and production costs. We will limit errors and product design changes that may need to be done down the road. We will continue to invest in the right tools for the job”, said Boehm. |
