Modular Design

Why Modular Product Design?

To meet customers demand, manufacturers must deliver a wide range oproduct variants that may be specific to each customer, market segor regional requirements.

Modular Design allows companies to speed up product development by creating a product structure of distinct modules. This strategy of fosters engineering design reuse, allowing maximum flexibility in design while dramatically decreasing time and cost for semi-custom and custom orders.

The Solution

SIGMAXIM Modular Design Solutions enable companies to embed rules and logical structures into their modular assemblies thereby increasing the bandwidth of their engineering team. Our goal is to have you focus on the higher-end design tasks and have overall more predictable design results by capturing design processes and methodologies and embedding them in Pro/Engineer. 

The SIGMAXIM architecture provide controls to limit the overall number of design elements with which engineers are allowed to work. With traditional product architecture, each product variation represents a unique design; component parts and electrical and mechanical interfaces throughout the product are tailored to that specific instance of the product. On the other hand, with the SIGMAXIM Modular Design Solutions, designers work with predefined product modules with set rules and interfaces. These predefined design elements are associated with specific sets of customer requirements.

In utilizing our new and innovative system, our clients have been able to dramatically cut design times while increasing overall accuracy.
