Subdivision Modeling

Manufacturing companies are shifting their focus on the form of products to emphasize aesthetics more and more.

The changes not only affect the visual part but also the perceptual part by changing how products function, improving their performance, quality and price. There are 3 trends dictated by consumers and the industry that promote the change of product shapes:

• Demand for organic and visually pleasing shapes: Creating good product aesthetics leads to better use and a superior user experience
• The importance of functionality: remains a key element of consumer evaluation such as perceived benefits and value for money
• Smooth development processes: useful for accelerating time to market and thus gaining a competitive advantage in the industrial landscape

Solid Edge from Siemens Digital Industries Software helps engineers and designers develop products using the subdivision modeling technique (modeling by subdivision surfaces).

In this e-Book we will take an in-depth look at modeling by subdivision surfaces and the three trends needed to effectively meet new market demands.
