Perhaps this is something you can use to adapt your own special clearance holes. I thought I'd share the steps I used for adding these holes. My thoughts turned to the clearance hole table, which is maintained by an Excel file named Clearance.xls, can contain the new information I wanted to add. Connected smart devices are changing how we use and interact with things.How new manufacturing technologies and techniques, like 3D Printing and crowd sourcing, allow "customization for the masses" and speed improving of those products.Cloud and mobile applications are changing how products are manufactured.You'll have the opportunity to learn about how: If you're in the Los Angeles area July 21st, join KETIV and Autodesk for the The Future Of Making Things roadshow at the California Science Center. What tools are out there? Which tools are right for me? Once I answer the first two questions, how do I implement the tools I've chosen?Īdditive Manufacturing, or 3D printing, is one way manufacturing is changing. Not all design changes can be foreseen, but good designers can adapt.įortunately for frazzled and frustrated designers everywhere, new tools are emerging all the time to help navigate the changing topography of the design world.īut this begs a new questions. Designers must be ready to move quickly when the need to change direction comes.
It's simply a part of the design process.įlexibility is the key to counter the design change. These changes may not have even been considered during the initial concept phase.Īs much as we as designers sigh, and then take a long walk in the parking lot saying things our mothers would be ashamed of, these changes will continue to come. These changes often come at the torment of the designers as they're faced with accommodating those changes. Many times, this happens right in the middle of the design project. Design requirements change, customer requirements change, new information reveals itself. You can only see a few steps ahead, but you have to take those steps to see what steps to take after that." Recently, I overheard an experienced designer say, " Design projects are like walking in fog.
