How we see things at Radix

Escaping from the limitations of 2D-based design to a 3D world where your design data becomes a foundational component of your company’s business and production activities is a present-day must. Many companies in the UK today still use 2D tools – both drawing board and CAD. In fact, nearly 2/3 of all design activity is still done in 2D. It’s slow, and the information on a drawing doesn’t contain much intelligence. A 3D solid model will allow you to determine mass properties at the click of a button, create rendered stills for catalog graphics, produce exploded views for technical and assembly manuals, and other data for manufacturing and analysis needs.

Investigate the benefits of KeyCreator design products, and take advantage of our Trial Period offer. If you’re new to 3D, or looking for your first CAD product and you’re not sure about 3D, read on.

A picture is still worth a thousand words. Without 3D design data, you have to talk a lot more to convey an understanding of your company’s product and message to your customers and suppliers. The more complex the product, the more powerful and effective a visual message is. In fact, in today’s world it’s simply essential in winning new business.

We live in a 3D world.

3D objects cast shadows. Stand in the sunshine and look at that gray thing on the ground. You’d know that shape anywhere. But, if you wanted to convey what you look like to someone who’s never seen you before, you wouldn’t send them a drawing of your shadow. Yet, that’s exactly what many companies do today when trying to convey their product design information to customers and vendors. They ONLY use 2D drawings.

3D is too hard, you say? That’s only because you’ve never learned to do it the KeyCreator way. We consistently graduate our customers from the hard work of 2D design and drafting to an easy, natural 3D approach to the same tasks. We teach and train using our customers’ own work. That way, when those engineers and designers return to work, they can pick up where they left off just a day or two before. Invariably, the feedback is: “We’ll never go back to 2D!”
