Season 2: [Core] Chapter 7: Practice - Inflate a car fender in 1 minute
T3Japan
Typically, when a sudden design change request comes in to "extend the fender of the completed body data by a few millimeters," the design team freezes. This is because, with conventional CAD, they are forced to engage in a massive amount of "destruction and reconstruction" work, such as deleting fillets, reworking surfaces, and battling rebuild errors. However, with the GSM (Global Shape Modeling) feature, which is synonymous with ThinkDesign, this can be completed in just under a minute, as shown in the actual operation screen video. The secret lies in "Target Driven Design," where you simply specify the surface you want to deform and the target curve, locking the boundary conditions that maintain smoothness with adjacent surfaces, allowing for real-time redefinition into a mathematically correct smooth shape. This overwhelming speed not only enhances efficiency but also restores the designer's inherent creative freedom to "try as many times as needed until satisfied." Furthermore, even intermediate files from external sources without history, such as STEP or IGES, can be deformed with the same precision as native data, and it is also possible to seamlessly revert to the original CAD. Please witness the true capability that overturns the common belief in the field that "we have no choice but to redo it because it's CAD data from another company."

Nice to meet you, I'm Takachan, working in sales (which is more like a pre-sales role) at ThinkDesign. Usually, I listen to clients' desires for "the kind of service they want to create" and bridge the gap to turn those into a "concrete blueprint" that engineers and designers can follow without confusion.
