 Benefits of Engineering Drawing in CSE
➢ Every engineer should have the ability to express their own design ideas as a drawing
and convey to others so that it can be manufactured,

➢ Technical drawing allows efficient communication among engineers and can be

kept as a record of the planning process,

➢ CPU design can only be done through the basics of engineering drawing,

➢ It helps you to convert 2D in 3D model which is also a very important criteria

in game design.
 Benefits of Digital Manufacturing in CSE
➢ Rapid Prototyping helps designers present new concepts to board members, clients or
investors so that they can understand and approve a development of product,

➢ It helps you test different components and refine your ideas, providing a clear
pathway from concept to reality,

➢ Reducing product development costs,

➢ Allowing functionality testing

 Benefits of Digital Manufacturing in CSE
➢ Eliminating the risk of product failure,

➢ Improving user involvement,

➢ Increased efficiency through automated exchange of data,

➢ Avoidance of costly errors due to missed or misinterpreted data,

➢ Digital tools allow manufacturers to centralize and manage the entire

manufacturing process in one software platform,
