The issue of globalization has revolutionized how organizations are doing their work which has had profound impacts in the in all industries. The engineering industry is among the industries that have been changed by these advancements in technology with corporations adopting new methods in bids to become more competitive. Kenya has not been left behind in this global change and corporations are adopting new methods especially in the design of products and design.
3D CAD modelling is one of the services that is gaining popularity in Kenya as the nation continues to undertake numerous projects. Whether is basic plant designs, product design, piping designs, stress analysis, buildings design, commissioning of a project, detailed engineering services, advanced software and 3D services are crucial.
The following are some of the benefits of 3D CAD modelling in Kenya:
- Better visualization and capabilities for future forecasting: 3D CAD modelling software help in ensuring that a reality image of the product/plant is seen which enables making of better decisions. t allows owner-operators and Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) companies to visualize the final plant better and the ability to make intelligent, data-driven decisions and forecasts. Clients are able to see ‘what if’ scenarios from the design which eliminates errors in the design stage.
- Enhances designer output: 3D CAD modeling makes better use of the designer resources by taking away the manual and tedious part of designs. It also helps the designer visualize all components in 3D during the initial design stage and modify/edit instantly, if need be. This reduces the number of iterations and improves designer productivity.
- Documentation: 3D CAD services enhance data management by organizing the design assets and documents.
- International codes and standards compatibility: Compliance with international codes and standards for various processes and plant designs becomes much easier with 3D CAD modeling as the specifications are included for each standard such as BSI, ANSI, DIN, CSN, GB, ISO etc.
- Integration: The modern CAD software provides the engineers with a single file for accurate extraction of Layouts, GA, Cable Routing, Isometric Drawings, Steel and Architectural Drawings, BOM and other documents.
