It's a big job to build the factories that build the world's most complex products. 

You need the leading 2D and 3D CAD software for modeling, drawing production, and visualization capabilities with the ability to handle data for your projects of the largest scale and complexity. 

Designing the Manufacturing Facility of the Future: The Power of Parametric Modeling

White paper by Engineering.com 

CAD_MicroStation_White Paper Manufacturing Facility of Future_Power of Parametric Modeling

 

When it comes to designing a manufacturing facility, the consideration goes beyond the building. Today, manufacturing companies are using CAD, BIM, and other design technologies to design entire manufacturing facilities, from the roof to the robots.

In this white paper Engineering.com discusses how design tech, plus such cutting-edge technologies as augmented reality, virtual reality, and artificial intelligence are being used to save companies time, cut costs and enable better facilities overall.
