3D MODELING TECHNOLOGIES AND INNOVATIVE APPROACHES IN INDUSTRIAL DESIGN

Abstract

This article critically examines the transformative impact of 3D modeling technologies and innovative approaches on industrial design. Through a systematic review of recent scientific literature, detailed case studies across automotive, medical, and consumer electronics sectors, and interviews with leading practitioners, the research highlights how advanced modeling tools, generative design, and immersive visualization have redefined product development processes. Key findings include significant reductions in development cycle times, increased creativity, enhanced collaboration, and improved product quality attributed to the integration of 3D modeling and innovative design methodologies. The study also addresses ongoing challenges such as the integration of legacy systems, intellectual property protection, and the need for continuous workforce training. The article concludes by emphasizing the need for ongoing investment in digital skills and infrastructure, the importance of multidisciplinary collaboration, and the pivotal role of 3D modeling in driving sustainable and user-centered industrial innovation.
