The webpage “Lifesaving drones designed with CAD software” (Siemens, 2019), introduces the use of Siemens NX CAD software to design lifesaving drones. Among its many features, The NX CAD software is designed to optimize the design, testing, and manufacturing processes. In terms of design optimization, the software allows its users to use virtual product models rather than the more costly physical prototypes to test the effectiveness of its design. This leads to shortened design time, which lowers the development cost and improves product quality (Siemens, 2019). According to the article, the Syncrofit feature of the NX CAD software “allows users to make well-informed design decisions for an overall smoother path to design realization” (Siemens, n.d). The article mentions that the NX CAD software's simulation function in designing lifesaving drones can perform virtual test flights while simulating the characteristics or properties of the different components. The article also states...
