Looking at the economic development of the world's economic powers, all have an extremely close relationship with the automobile industry. The top one and two in the automotive industry are the crown and runner-ups of global companies, which seems to be a good example of this. Leaving aside the distant Europe and America, we only need to focus on neighboring Asian countries. Japan and South Korea have driven the rapid development of the entire national economy mainly after the rapid development of the two major industries of automobiles and electronics. The development of the automobile industry drives the development of important parts companies such as automobile axles. Therefore, the importance of the automobile industry to the country can be imagined.
As the backbone of the manufacturing industry, the automotive industry has always been a pioneer in the application of CAD/CAM/CAE systems. The application of 3D technology has effectively promoted the advancement of the automobile manufacturing industry; the demand of the automobile industry has also greatly promoted the development of 3D technology.
With the substantial increase in automobile production and the relatively fixed inventory, competition has intensified and the profit of each automobile has fallen sharply. How to reduce costs in every aspect of the product development of automobile front axle and rear axle assembly under the premise of improving quality has become the goal of axle manufacturers. Intensified competition requires axle manufacturers to bring high-quality new axles and new models to the market more quickly.
The automobile manufacturing industry is a technology-intensive and labor-intensive industry. In order to reduce production costs and reduce pollution, automakers often build parts factories with high labor content and low technology content overseas. Therefore, collaborative development and data sharing have become important factors restricting the product launch cycle. After entering the 21st century, the application cost of 3D technology is not too high compared to more than 20 years ago, but the cost of product development has been rising, especially the cost of development engineers. Therefore, the new software system will surely replace the old framework software that supports the entire enterprise's product information-product data management system (PDM), which is gradually being used by many axle manufacturers.
