Listening to Edoo's words, Clildo, who had been talking endlessly in front of his own people a few minutes ago, squirmed twice, as if he wanted to say something, but after squirming for a long time, he didn't squirm a word, but a dissatisfied old face became more and more incredulous.

In fact, not only Edoo and Crealdo, Director Zhao, Fang Yong, Badia, Park Zhemin and others all opened their mouths in surprise when they saw the scene in front of them, and then a question popped up in the depths of their hearts, what is the aircraft design department of Tengfei Group in front of them?

This also ...... Too...... Sci-fi right!

Yes, the place that Zhuang Jianye took them to visit gave people just two words, science fiction.

Although the design department of the usual industrial enterprise has the blessing of industrial design software, it is impossible to completely detach from the paper, after all, some specific parts can only be solved by the computer, and many details need to be drawn by hand to complete.

For example, for the multi-angle parameters of complex surfaces, the usual 2D design software cannot contain all the information, and even the more advanced 3D software cannot cover all the components in the assembly.

In this case, hand-drawing becomes an important part of the detailed design.

Of course, even if there is no manual drawing on the details, it is impossible to completely rely on computer-aided design to completely get rid of paper, because the process department that docks with the design department, the first-line workshop also needs paper drawings to determine the process and manufacturing process, after all, not all manufacturing processes are now CNC machine tools, even if numerical control is realized, the things designed by computer software do not match the control software of CNC machine tools.

Because of this, not to mention the country, even if you look at the whole world, there is no design department that is completely separated from the drawings.

As a result, such a common-sense foundation, which exists as the truth in industrial design, has been completely subverted in this large space in the new factory of Tengfei Group.

No drawings, no ...... Not even a piece of paper, to be more precise.

So what do the designers here use to design?

With a pen, but not an ordinary drawing pen, but an electronic pen that can be touched at will on a 40-inch screen and form a design idea.

Fang Yong couldn't take his eyes off the workbench that was closest to him.

There are more than a dozen designers wearing inch shirts and T-shirts, holding the electronic pen in their hands on the screen in front of them frequently, and with their touch, the parts on the screen are sometimes concave, sometimes convex, sometimes curved, sometimes changing.

As early as the mid-eighties, in order to develop the FB-1 fighter-bomber, the Northwest Aviation Plant introduced the CATIA-V2 version of the special aircraft design software from Dassault in France.

At that time, it became a computer-aided design unit that was no less than that of Tengfei Group, which was also one of the important reasons why Northwest Aviation Plant was able to surpass other domestic enterprises in terms of efficiency in the improvement of FB-1 fighter-bombers, H-6 and Y-8.

Therefore, Fang Yong was not surprised to see that the designers of Tengfei Group used electronic pens to design three-dimensional images around the circular screen wall, and the Northwest Airlines Plant can also do this, after all, their factory's CATIA software has been upgraded to the V3 version, which is more powerful, otherwise it would not be possible to place the air tanker project in the Air Force Not long after, they came up with a complete design plan for the bombardment 6, relying on the powerful modeling, analysis and data processing capabilities of the new software.

The only difference is that the designers of Ascendas Group use an electronic stylus and the Northwest Airlines plant uses a mouse, but there is not much difference in essence.

Fang Yong was shocked by the two designers who were facing away from him, and instead of using an electronic stylus, one of them was wearing something similar to a glove, and on his head he was wearing something like an aircraft pilot's helmet, and he was pointing and pointing on the screen with his gloved hand while communicating quickly.

Then an incredible scene appeared, the parts depicted by other designers at the workstation were combined one after another on their screens with the touch of their fingers, and the two people tried a variety of processes and manufacturing methods in the process of combining as if they were in a real production workshop, and then found the most suitable solution, and proposed modifications to each component according to the plan, and then re-modified them when they were sent back to the designer responsible for the design of the part.

Fang Yong didn't feel anything at first, he was just a little curious, but when he looked at it, his face changed, because he found that the two people with weird helmets and gloves could not only integrate on a macro level, but also be able to view the details in multiple dimensions.

Fang Yong watched carefully and saw such a scene, a saddle-like part with a complex curved surface was placed in the whole, and there was a connecting rod at an extremely imperceptible angle.

But the designer seems to be negligent, and did not do the details of this connecting rod, resulting in the efficacy of the entire large part did not meet the requirements, was found by two people with strange helmets and gloves, not only hit back to redo, but also gave a very specific process solution, No. 66, No. 42 fixture, material titanium alloy, chemical milling, CNC machining, EDM, electrochemical boring, vacuum electron beam welding, embedded wire 6 cable and No. 8 control line......

Fang Yong was dumbfounded by this scene.

In a sense, he is an expert in computer-aided design in China, and if it weren't for this, he would not have been able to introduce CATIA software from France.

However, the CATIA software of the Northwest Aviation Plant has only improved the efficiency in design, and can be directly converted into direct production on some French-made CNC machine tools, and most of the remaining tooling, processes, molds, and other pre-production processes are indispensable.

This process is sometimes more complex than design and production, requiring repeated exploration, frequent experimentation, and careful scrutiny by technicians to come up with the best solution that meets the design standards and does not exceed the manufacturing capacity.

Because of this, this process is quite boring and long, and even sometimes because of the bottleneck in the link, a card is several years, regardless of the rest, the FB-1 fighter-bomber of the Northwest Plant is out of touch with each other because of the advanced design and the lag in manufacturing, resulting in the intermediate link of tooling and technology stuck for several years, and there is no choice but to make continuous compromises between design and manufacturing, and finally come up with the final plan for the mass production of FB-1 fighter-bomber.

This is also an important reason for the long cycle of high-end industrial products such as aircraft and rockets.

But now, Tengfei Group's system seems to have opened up the intermediate link between design and manufacturing, and there is no need to go to the first-line plant to do experiments, do parameters, sit in front of the screen and point, and a series of manufacturing information will be turned into the optimal solution to present the required processes one by one.

Seeing this scene, Fang Yong was shocked, and only one sentence was swiped in his mind: Where did you buy this thing?
