\u00a0your product. \u00a0Besides fully documenting the product, these files can accurately predict product performance using finite element analysis (FEA &amp; CFD.) \u00a0During this stage, 123DESIGNS always makes photorealistic images or movies for clients to share their CAD designs with others. \u00a0These images can even be used to start marketing the product before it exists.<\/p>\n<p>123DESIGNS uses Autodesk Inventor and SolidWorks. \u00a0Our specific engineering specialties are;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Plastic Parts for injection molding<\/li>\n<li>Sheet Metal for laser
