3D design software, also known as 3D CAD, is the foundation of a new generation of digital, virtualized and intelligent design platforms. It is an emerging design method based on the plane and two-dimensional design, which makes the design goal more three-dimensional and more visual. All 3D views and 3D animations are made by professional 3D design software. The main focus of different 3D design software is different.
3D design software is an important means to cultivate innovative talents. Under the background of the current globalized cooperation and division of labor in the manufacturing industry, it is an irresistible trend for Chinese enterprises to extensively and deeply apply 3D design technology and to increase education in 3D innovative design in colleges and universities. The popularization of 3D technology is an inevitable trend, and 3D training must be fully rolled out.
It is understood that computer-aided design (CAD) technology and computer graphics (CG) have developed rapidly in recent years, and have become one of the core technologies in the current network information age. The speed at which 3D design technology has entered enterprise applications is astonishing, and it took less than 20 years from its birth to practicality. Due to the obvious advantages of this technology, manufacturing companies in many countries in the world attach great importance to the application of 3D design technology. In developed countries and regions such as Europe, North America, and Japan, 3D CAD technology has been widely used not only in high-end manufacturing industries such as aviation, aerospace, automobiles, and ships, but also in the design and manufacture of various consumer goods. Compared with industrialized countries, there is still a big gap in the application of 3D design technology in my country's manufacturing enterprises. In the corporate world, there are still many companies that focus on manual or 2D CAD design. In the field of academic and vocational education, 3D CAD has not really entered the core system of engineering education.
Experts pointed out that under the background of the current globalized cooperation and division of labor in the manufacturing industry, it is an irresistible trend for Chinese enterprises to extensively and deeply apply 3D design technology and to increase education in 3D innovative design in colleges and universities. Academician Sun Jiaguang, chairman of the Chinese Society of Engineering Graphics and an authoritative expert in the field of CAD technology and manufacturing informatization in my country, pointed out: "The popularization of 3D technology is an inevitable trend, and 3D training must be rolled out nationwide."
